- contribute to innovation and entrepreneurship.
These activities are rolled out in areas linked to the major digital, energy, industrial and educational transitions underway.
Partner-orientated research
The quality of IMT’s partner-orientated research is recognized by 2 Carnot Institute labels, (M.I.N.E.S and Carnot Télécom & société numérique) awarded in 2006 and renewed in 2011.
The research concerns projects that involve IMT research teams and its socioeconomic partners (businesses, associations, local authorities, etc.). This is a major focus of IMT’s Research and Innovation strategy.
Partner-orientated research takes many forms:
- Contractual research
- Collaborative research
- Technology transfer
Academic leader in supporting innovation and entrepreneurship

As a result, the incubated startups are characterized by a strong technological core and an outstanding 3-year survival rate of 93%.The schools’ incubators benefit from the nationwide dynamics created by IMT and have access to a number of complementary services alongside those in their region:
- Prix Innovation Bercy-IMT
- VivaTech, CES Las Vegas
- Fondation Mines-Télécom honor loans
- IMT Technology Days
1000 researchers and 1100 PhD students
IMT fosters the production of value-creating research: every year, 49 patents are filed and 1,837 top tier publications contribute to furthering scientific research and guarantee state-of-the-art teaching. 65 millions euros of contractual resources have come from this research.
1000 researchers and 1100 PhD students work in the fields of digital technologies, energy, materials, the environment, natural resources, economics, management and human sciences.
First MOOC creator in France
IMT and its schools are pioneers and leaders in France in Massive Open Online Courses, taught in English or French, notably in the fields of digital technologies, telecommunications, programming and engineering science.
The MOOCs offered by IMT are available on the following platforms: FunMOOC, Coursera and edX.
International influence
IMT reaches beyond French borders (33% of students on the Master’s or PhD programs are from outside France) and sends its students to the best universities around the world.
In order to increase the number of non-Francophone students on their campuses and expose their students to a more international world, the IMT schools have developed programs taught in English.
These programs offer the opportunity for students to connect with highly qualified professors from IMT’s international partners and teacher-researchers from around the world.
As part of these programs, visiting professors often help to produce high-quality collaborative research.
