Building on a 15-year alliance, the MIT and Accenture Convergence Initiative for Industry and Technology brings together Accenture’s technology, strategy, and industry experts with the best minds from across MIT. This bold collaboration is accelerating the adoption of new disruptive technologies, providing research insights to improve decision making, and helping industry and technology leaders better understand how they can maximize the power of convergence to re-imagine industries and create new opportunities.

Research
The initiative is addressing industry and technology convergence through a portfolio of near- and long-term joint research projects. Topics range from the long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and reinventing healthcare with robotics, to the role of artificial intelligence in the workforce of the future, to driving value with digital manufacturing and supply chains.

Education
Programs are brought to life through novel approaches that allow for digital learning and collaboration at scale, targeting business executives as well as more than 500,000 Accenture employees, and includes a C-level executive education program focused on immersing leaders in the foundations and implications of today’s and tomorrow’s technology.

Inclusion & Diversity
Our commitment to inclusion and diversity is an integral part of our partnership. Our goal is to amplify fresh voices through programs that lead to tangible change in mindsets, organizations and society. Innovation is at the heart of this initiative, and innovation is fueled by diversity.
