, we believe that groundbreaking science has the power to change the world—but only if it reaches the people and places that need it most. That’s why we’re creating a new model for innovation: one that empowers scientists and engineers to lead, connects them with the resources to succeed, and transforms bold ideas into real-world solutions.

Activate's two-year U.S. fellowship program transforms scientists and engineers into founders, empowering them to reinvent the world by bringing their research to market.

We provide early-stage science entrepreneurs with funding, technical resources, and unparalleled support from a network of scientists, engineers, investors, commercial partners, and fellow entrepreneurs.

With locations in Somerville, MA, and Houston, TX,
