The C. Dean Metropoulos Institute for Technology and Entrepreneurship is where Babson’s entrepreneurial leaders help shape the technologies defining tomorrow.
As a driving force behind the College’s tech-forward strategy, the Metropoulos Institute integrates education, research, innovation, and infrastructure to expand access, accelerate progress, and develop leaders equipped to navigate and innovate in a rapidly evolving world.
The Metropoulos Institute currently is distributed across Babson's most tech- and entrepreneurship-intensive sites—including the Herring Family Entrepreneurial Leadership Village, the Weissman Foundry, and the Arthur M. Blank Center for Entrepreneurship.
“The pervasive role of technology has a crucial impact on entrepreneurs and established business owners more broadly. … Even businesses not directly selling technology products or services are increasingly dependent on technology for their daily operations and strategic growth.”
The C. Dean Metropoulos Institute for Technology and Entrepreneurship will bolster Babson’s leading entrepreneurial education into the leadership ranks of technology and AI. The Institute will support and expand curricular and co-curricular programs that amplify the importance of technological innovation in the entrepreneurial process. This will provide the Babson community with the space to dive deeper into the latest technological advancements, collaborate with their peers and educators, and determine best practices for use of these tools in their own careers and ventures.
