Why Fast-Track exists
We teach scientists new skills — or connect them to complementary people and technologies — so ideas grow into ventures that create prosperity.
There are two pathways: sharpen the scientist’s own entrepreneurial skills, or pair them with someone who already has them to launch the venture together.
