Meet the 9 teams joining our Spring 2021 Lab2Launch Venture Building program
Twice a year, we usher in a new cohort of Lab2Launch ventures working on the leading-edge research innovations that are set to change the world.
The Lab2Launch Venture Building program is for UBC researchers and scientists who are focusing on the development of a scientific or technological innovation which is unique, proprietary and difficult to reproduce, propelling teams through venture creation, and preparing them for investment and growth. Teams are supported by our bench of industry and academic mentors who bring their expertise, insights and experience to the venture building process to create phenomenal impacts for our community.
2020 has demonstrated the absolute necessity of getting research innovation to market and accelerating discoveries to advance society and make fundamental, positive, change. As an academic incubator/accelerator program and as part of the Innovation portfolio at UBC, this is our “bread and butter”, working with Lab2Launch ventures at the intersection of research commercialization and venture creation who will drive transformative impacts in BC and around the globe.
The onset of a new cohort marks the beginning of a new “season” at entrepreneurship@UBC and we are delighted to introduce you to the newest ventures to join the program!
