A regional ecosystem

This is more than joining a program: we are becoming part of a regional innovation ecosystem with global reach, one that connects scientific knowledge, business expertise and capital.

What we value most is the opportunity to build networks with scientists, academic institutions, industry leaders and investors who share a common purpose: transforming high-quality science into solutions with real-world impact.

A new chapter

Thank you to the LAB+ team for their trust. We are excited to begin this chapter alongside the other startups in the new cohort.
