US engineering services firm 4089 Parsons has joined the 2024 Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT’s) Industrial Liaison Program (ILP), which is dedicated to creating and strengthening mutually beneficial relationships between MIT and corporations worldwide.

Parsons’ participation in MIT’s ILP will enable its three business units, Federal, Infrastructure and Middle East Africa to monitor MIT research developments and emerging technologies, identify MIT resources of interest to the corporation and arrange and participate in expert face-to-face meetings with MIT faculty.

“Parsons understands that Smart City solutions require new partnerships between cities, research institutions and implementation partners. Our participation in MIT’s Industrial Liaison Program is just one example of how we are tapping into emerging areas of thought to develop innovative solutions for urban infrastructure,” stated Chuck Harrington, Parsons’ chairman and CEO.
