  • Edmonton, Alberta (Canada)
  • Heilbronn – Franconia, Germany
  • Hualien, Taiwan, China
  • Miami, FL (USA)
  • Michigan (USA)
  • Valparaiso, Chile

MIT REAP Global teams participate in a two-year program focused on accelerating innovation-driven entrepreneurship (IDE) in their regional innovation ecosystems through undertaking an in-depth innovation and entrepreneurship capacity assessment, designing an acceleration strategy grounded in regional comparative advantages, and implementing a new program or policy to drive their ecosystem forward.

"We are thrilled to welcome these seven exceptional teams from across five continents into Cohort 11 of our Global Program," said Travis Hunter, Director of MIT REAP. "Each team underwent a rigorous selection process, demonstrating their region's urgency for change and their commitment to driving innovation-driven entrepreneurship in their ecosystems. Cohort 11 represents a diverse global footprint that will undoubtedly enrich our program."

Each team follows MIT REAP's Innovation Ecosystem Stakeholder Model, with members representing the five major stakeholder groups that, in collaboration, can drive impact on IDE ecosystems: university, government, corporate, risk capital, and entrepreneurs. MIT REAP teams collaborate with other regions within and across their Cohort, including a rich alumni community spanning twelve years of the program and more than 100 participating regions.

"No one is in charge of entrepreneurship," said Professor Scott Stern, MIT REAP Faculty Co-Director, David Sarnoff Professor of Management, and Faculty Director of the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship. "Instead, multiple stakeholders are required to tackle big problems and enable the success of novel solutions - across business, healthcare, education, and more. MIT REAP is designed to help teams identify their region's comparative advantage, engage a network of regional leaders, and build a strategy for accelerating IDE and creating real value and impact.  We look forward to working with the diverse group of Cohort 11 teams to develop unique strategies for their regions."
