Why you want an MIT student on
your team
• New Perspective
• Taking Your Technology a Step Forward
• Access to MIT Network
• Specific Technological Knowledge
MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives
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
MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives
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.
MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives
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
MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives
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 International Science and Technology Initiatives
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
