The Ontario Brain Institute’s (OBI) innovative initiative funds and supports scientists (e.g., neurotechnology, science or engineering) in entrepreneurial/commercialization opportunities to help establish neuroscience-related companies in the NeuroTech Ontario cluster.
The program provides up to $50,000 over a one-year period to help post-graduate students focus full-time on commercialization activities related to a neuroscience-based opportunity. OBI Entrepreneurs are assigned industry based mentors and a dedicated point of contact at OBI for professional and personal support throughout the year, as well as preparation for follow-on funding. There are up to 10 awards available, and the program is open to scientists, researchers, engineers, developers, designers and others.
Applications close March 21.
