Having world-renowned partners such as Thermo Fisher backing our mission is not only crucial to enable startup success, it also demonstrates that leaders in the science sector understand the true value and impact of what we are trying to do – supporting deep tech founders across every stage of their journey so they can improve our lives and our environment.”
