“The program provided us with an excellent business learning experience. It helped us to transform our passion in research and papers into business, we were able to get an IP, to finalize the R&D phase and to start the quality control phase to validate our results. It enabled us to shift from a pure academic idea dedicated to getting our Ph.D. degree to a potential business project that we can commercialize”
