Take the challenge
The world is constantly changing, presenting us with new challenges. In order to keep up, we need innovations to help us solve ever newer problems. Nowadays, with the rapid development of technology, challenges arise more often and faster than ever before. This is why larger companies need startups to help them introduce the latest solutions. Today, large corporations are looking for answers to the following questions:

- How can we maximize the efficiency of the construction process while reducing its impact on the environment?
- What solutions can we implement in the area of telemedicine?
- How can we streamline the drug discovery and marketing process?
- And many more!
The above challenges are those that the corporations and partners of the MIT EF CEE program have to face, and their goal is to find startups that are ready to bring their innovative ideas to life.
In return, the startups receive an opportunity to establish long-term cooperation with leading corporations and gain a huge market advantage. Partners of MIT EF CEE offer a unique opportunity to use their developed infrastructure, as well as the global network of contacts, or get help from experts.
