A professor of entrepreneurship at various European business schools, Jean-Jacques Degroof enjoys mentoring young entrepreneurs in the technology sector. Jean-Jacques Degroof is also a former teaching assistant at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Sloan School of Management, and has remained affiliated with the MIT Industrial Performance Center (IPC) for many years. Founded in 1992, IPC addresses and researches key questions facing firms, industries or regions related to building greater innovation capacity that can lead to benefits for all members of society. It regularly convenes key actors from the public, private and non-profit sectors to discuss those topics and their implications for the global economy. IPC was created as part of the network of Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Industry Study Centers to further the research carried out by the MIT Commission on Industrial Productivity. This commission produced a widely distributed report titled Made in America: Regaining the Productive Edge (MIT Press, 1989), which laid out a blueprint for improving productivity in the U.S. manufacturing sector. Since its inception, the IPC has worked on a number of projects, including Unlocking Energy Innovation: How America Can Build a Low-Cost, Low-Carbon Energy System (2011) and Production in the Innovation Economy (2013).
