For humanity to thrive in the face of climate change and other global challenges, we need to reinvent our economy to be sustainable, resilient, and equitable.
To do that, we’ll need scientists to bring their groundbreaking research to market as new products and businesses faster and with more impact.
The world needs science at scale.
Learn more about the Activate Fellowship and the impact we’re having.
Every year, we work with a cross-section of U.S. institutions to select a cohort of Activate Fellows from around the world.
For two years, Activate supports fellows with a full-time living stipend, mentorship, an entrepreneurial education, access to funders and industry experts, and funding to access the facilities they need to turn their research into a first product.
With our support, Activate Fellows develop as leaders, mature their ideas, and learn what it takes to build a viable, scalable business. The fellowship benefits extend into the future, as alumni build on relationships with Activate’s network of industry leaders, investors, and philanthropists.

FUNDING CATALYZED
We believe that the U.S. offers the world’s best ecosystem for scientific innovation. We partner with leading U.S.-based institutions to connect Activate Fellows with the resources, knowledge, and networks they need to succeed.
We are assembling a community of committed public and private partners to support Activate. Through donations of time, money, equipment, or services, our partners allow us to advance our mission while supporting their aligned strategic priorities.
