(Innovation-Driven Entrepreneurial Advantage) is a class for MBAs which introduces them to the Cambridge/MA Innovation-Driven Entrepreneurial ecosystem and how it functions. The scientific community is clearly an essential part of this ecosystem and we would
like to bring MBAs and Scientists together in two networking events. This will give you the opportunity to make a personal connection with highly placed executives from firms like Biogen, Novartis, Raytheon, Monsanto, GE, Twitter, VMware, etc (this is what
EMBAs are). </span></div>
