Where scientists become leaders of world-changing ventures.

Activate's flagship fellowship program was the first fellowship for entrepreneurial scientists—providing the mindsets, skills, networks, and support needed to turn breakthrough hard tech into real-world impact.

Through Activate Innovation Labs, we’re now expanding that model to support science entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey, offering the most comprehensive programming in the space.

We support scientists throughout the founder journey.
