C. Dean Metropoulos Institute for Technology and Entrepreneurship (MiTE) spans the industrial tech ecosystem.
This includes consumer goods, manufacturing, retail, IT, and finance. And this focus fuels breakthroughs in fields like CleanTech, Cybersecurity, FinTech, HealthTech, Industry 4.0, QuantumTech, and other emerging technologies.
These innovations arise from campus creativity, scaled through MiTE’s later-stage accelerators and mature-startup pitch competitions. Using AI, data-driven decision-making, and bold experimentation, we enhance technological literacy and explore the value and risks of human-AI integration, preparing leaders to navigate its societal impact.
MiTE redefines entrepreneurial leadership—honed at Babson for over 100 years—to solve complex challenges where traditional models falter. Outward-focused, MiTE builds deep partnerships with tech institutes worldwide. As part of The Arthur M. Blank School for Entrepreneurial Leadership's global action lab, we empower leaders at every level to turn ideas into impact.
Our initiatives equip our community to lead everywhere.
