    While the materials advances that come out of MIT labs are often “hard tech” and require capital-intensive scale-up with longer time horizons, they also often have a substantial advantage as “platform technologies”. Because they are versatile and multipurpose, they can facilitate pivots and create multiple paths to market over long timespans. What is more, the MIT materials community is one of the most vibrant and translation-focused groups at MIT, with a legacy of commercialization and a culture of support for entrepreneurship. This talk will review some of the unique features of early-stage commercialization in the materials space, along with efforts made within MIT to foster a culture of materials innovation.
