Why you want an MIT student on

your team

• New Perspective

• Taking Your Technology a Step Forward

• Access to MIT Network

• Specific Technological Knowledge


New Perspective: See opportunities you

have not seen before

• Check Point joined the program to expose

our developers to a different view of the

computer science field; and eventually to

create an ongoing relationship with MIT. Yaron Sheffer, Manager, Standards and VPN Technologies, Check Point Technologies

• “We benefitted greatly from bringing a

young person from MIT to provide a fresh

view into our team and our research. One

learns different ways to look at things,

different cultures, and different ideas.” Ana

Maiques, Business Development Manager, Starlab, Spain


Taking Your Technology a Step Forward:

Go where you want to go

•“Ellann enabled us to make a huge leap forward. A useful

measuring instrument may emerge as a result and could find

widespread worldwide use because of its low cost.” Professor David Faiman, Head, Israel's National Solar Energy Center

• Jason Bryslawskyj developed two patents (one approved; one

pending) based on magnetic bearing and superconductivity

calculations for large drives. MIT-Germany Intern with Siemens


Taking Your Technology a Step Forward:

Go where you want to go

• The high level of the student, enabled the advancement of

the project. Herzl Ovadia, Engineering Manager, AVX Israel

• Osram Opto Semiconductors is trying to develop highly

efficient OLED lighting. Ian Rousseau, MIT-Germany 2008

Intern developed a methodology which reduced computation

time from one hour to three minutes per device.


Specific Technological Knowledge: get what

you are looking for

• From specific MIT labs/MBA from Sloan

• Projects determined by companies> students recruited

• Resumes sent to companies>projects determined by student

skills


Access to MIT Network: reach the people

you didn’t know you needed to reach

• An association with the MIT-India Program allows us access to the resources of MIT in a way that would be impossible to do without their help.Dr. Nachiket Mor, ICICI Bank, India

• Knowledge exchanges with MIT researchers are the best way to achieve the interdisciplinary and cultural cross-fertilization that any territory intent on global success shouldpursue.Alessandro Garofalo , Trentino Sviluppo, Italy


MIT-Trained Team Players: MIT collaborative

spirit and training will make it easier to make

what you want happen.

“Jesse blended-in with our team

very smoothly and naturally,

teamed with other people in the

group, and had no problem

adapting to our culture and

complex working environment.”Eytan Segal, Group Manager, Check Point
