How we drive impact

The involvement of I-INC in the scaling of Fusion was very critical because it allowed us to go from a one room operation to a 3000 square foot lab and international profile.

The Lab2Market program provided its participants with the chance to carefully understand their market. It’s a safe space that allows the use of the scientific idea in an entrepreneurial world, i.e., customer discovery and validation. We were considering a product with a certain aspect and now our vision is wider and we are considering a product with additional features to meet the customer demands.
