Ilan Gur: Empowering scientists to maximise their impact in the world

Thoughts in Between: exploring how technology collides with politics, culture and society - A podcast by Matt Clifford: Co-founder of Entrepreneur First

Categories:

Ilan is CEO of Activate, a non-profit fellowship that enables entrepreneurial scientists to transform their research into world-changing deep tech products and businesses. There are lots of parallels between my day job at Entrepreneur First and what Ilan is building at Activate, so it was great to explorie what we’ve both learned in this conversation. Unlike EF, Activate is focused on science that is going to take a long time, often at least a couple of years, before it’s ready for even the earliest stage venture capital. I think this is a really important space and there are big lessons for how we stimulate breakthrough innovation. -----------------Thanks to Cofruition for consulting on and producing the show.
