Since its foundation in 1948, the MIT ILP is a program that serves as the bridge between corporates and research institutes to encourage and foster more collaboration.

Through joing the ILP, FORUM 8 will seek to further expand its VR business as well as the relatively young robotics and, medical solutions, by actively connecting and collaborating with those who are expert in these areas, while strengthening marketing activities and presense in the Western Region.
Specifically, FORUM 8 will actively participate in various MIT Conferences, as well as on-site meetings with experts and professionals at the MIT Boston Campus every year.
