For Technologists

The strategic intersection of technology and business
The MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership gives technologists and executives in the high-tech and manufacturing industries an extensive stratum of resources available nowhere else. MIT Sloan Fellows have access to a technology network that extends across the MIT landscape and reaches deep into the international marketplace.

With its prodigious ancestry — the MIT Sloan Fellows and Management of Technology programs — the integrated program plugs students in to the nerve center of this remarkable climate where many of the great technological discoveries of our time have been shaped or invented. Teamwork and collaboration happen at every level, and the pursuit of solutions propels research and invention.

Where technologists prepare to climb
The value to technologists of participating in a high-level management program in such a technology-rich environment is immeasurable. The MIT Sloan Fellows Program gives managers in technology industries a strong foundation for success in senior leadership positions and affords them privileged access to some of the world's most inspiring high-tech executives. Most important, they are immersed in an environment steeped in technological innovation and populated by faculty, researchers, and program peers who are achieving important advances in all areas of the technology realm.

Prospective participants interested in the biotechnology field may consider applying to the interdisciplinary Biomedical Enterprise Program. The MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership is the management component of this dual-degree program jointly offered by MIT Sloan and the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology.

Alumni of the MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership now head technology-based companies all over the world, including:

  • General Motors
  • Hewlett-Packard
  • Lotus
  • Boeing
  • E*Trade
  • 3Com
  • BellSouth
  • British Railways
  • U.S. Coast Guard
  • Siemens Corporation
  • Ford Motor Company
  • Pratt & Whitney
  • Genentech
  • Inventis
  • Teradyne
  • Symantec
  • Lockheed Martin
  • NTT DoCoMo
  • Eastman Kodak

Discoveries and commercial applications of nanotechnology, biotechnology, and information technology and their intersections are having an increasingly significant impact on the world. MIT's $1 billion investment in new and renovated facilities will support the Institute's research mission, with particular emphasis on “the big Os” (nano-, bio-, and info-) and the interdisciplinary convergence of these three broad research domains.
