Welcome our S20 cohort of FORGE teams!!
Join us in welcoming the S20 Accelerated Entry Program cohort of startup teams!
We're excited to share the startup teams selected to participate in our S20 Accelerated Entry Program!
The companies were selected for their innovative approaches to problems most closely aligned with the University of Arizona’s Research and FORGE’s strengths in digital health and community/environmental resilience: “novel nanoparticles for radioisotope detection in advanced research laboratories”; “community-based pandemic preparedness”; “data integration for use in natural resources”; “shipping containers converted into farms located in food deserted areas."
The selected startups will participate in our Accelerated Entry Program; a rigorous, 8-week business development curriculum helping early-stage startups reach scale. After which, they will earn the chance to join our incubator.
We are excited to support much-needed innovation that solves some of the biggest challenges of our time.
