Roadmap

G-FORCE

An innovative Acceleration Programme tailored to entrepreneurs in the Life Sciences, Fintech & Insuretech and Agritech sectors. The programme aims to accelerate the most talented teams with a high degree of innovation and a relevant technical-scientific profile, with special focus on the business dimension.

G-Force has a total duration of eight months.

For the first three months, the acceleration foresees intensive training and daily mentoring activities, with a mixed formula between remote and residential modes; for the following five months, follow-up activities with remote mentoring one day a week are foreseen.
