CAMBRIDGE — The Massachusetts Institute of Technology must accelerate the pace of its long-term research to entice venture capitalists to fund it, university President L. Rafael Reif said in an interview.

Reif’s remarks on his vision for MIT’s future coincided with the announcement Friday that the college has launched a $5 billion fund-raising campaign.
