Each year, many companies and community partners benefit from sponsoring IPRO projects. Sponsors help to grow tomorrow’s crop of talented professionals who are prepared to work in collaborative teams and address complex issues.
IPRO sponsors gain access to the fresh perspectives of IIT students as well as the IIT faculty from throughout the university who advise the projects. Through the IPRO team project course, corporations, small businesses, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and associations can advance their goals through one- or multi-semester projects that address cross-functional opportunities and challenges within an organization that can benefit from a team approach.
