Kohler and the MIT Media Lab share the vision of a better future by, with, and for all.

We share the belief that remarkable outcomes can be achieved when mission-driven organizations, accompanied by empowered communities, join forces:

  • We can make new discoveries and advancements in how we understand ourselves, one another, and the world we share.
  • We can create transformative technologies, experiences, and systems that enable people to reimagine and redesign their lives.

The Media Lab is an interdisciplinary creative playground rooted squarely in academic rigor, comprising dozens of research groups, initiatives, and centers working collaboratively on hundreds of projects. We focus not only on creating and commercializing transformational future technologies but also on their potential to impact society for good.
