MIT's School of Engineering

The Emerging Technologies initiative in the MIT School of Engineering is a School-wide initiative that seeks to continually fuel next-generation technologies and move early-stage, cutting-edge ideas from the research lab into the marketplace. That is, it seeks to make a positive impact on our lives by fusing innovation and entrepreneurship.

MIT has a long tradition of nurturing innovation, providing the technology for new companies, and of building successful relationships with larger corporations that fund research. But historically, obstacles remained in the innovation process, between initial concepts and commercialization. Unproven ideas had little opportunity to advance beyond their theoretical stages. And younger companies lacked ways to discover and fund new ideas. But today, the Deshpande Center is working to change all that, and connect MIT's innovators with the marketplace.

About the MIT Deshpande Center for Technological Innovation

The Deshpande Center is part of the MIT School of Engineering and was established through an initial $20 million gift from Jaishree Deshpande and Desh Deshpande, the co-founder and chairman of Sycamore Networks. It serves as a catalyst for innovation and entrepreneurship by supporting leading-edge research and bridging the gap between the laboratory and marketplace. The Deshpande Center supports a wide range of emerging technologies including biotechnology, medical devices, information technology, new materials, “tiny technologies” and environmental innovation.

CAMBRIDGE , Mass. – The Deshpande Center for Technological Innovation at MIT today named Leon Sandler its new Executive Director.

Founded three years ago with an initial $20 million gift from Jaishree and Desh Deshpande, the Deshpande Center serves as a catalyst for innovation and entrepreneurship by providing resources to help leading-edge MIT research emerge from labs to the marketplace.

Since its inception, the center has funded 51 projects with more than $6 million in grants. Nine projects have developed into independently funded companies, having collectively raised more than $40 million in financing from top-tier venture capitalists.

Previously, Sandler ran his own consulting firm, Monmouth Group, where he transformed more than 20 growing businesses in a variety of technology sectors. Sandler has also served as the CEO of several start-ups and has assisted many other ventures as an interim executive or advisor.
