GRInSTEM/LYSISLOGIC
GRINSTEM fellowship awards up to $250,000 over two years to help UCalgary entrepreneurs bring technologies to market.
Overview
Renzo Silva (Researcher), Steve Larter (Principal Investigator), and the PRG's spin-off company were part of the pilot cohort of the GRInSTEM initiative, coordinated by the . The fellowship enabled PRG to diversify its innovation efforts and de-risk early stage scientific concepts with large commercialization potential. The project was completed in December 2022.
Innovation Philosophy
At PRG, our GRInSTEM team experienced a research framework that embraces both the scientific curiosity that sparkles new fundamental learnings, and the commitment to deliver useful learnings in applied R&D projects.
Kudos to the PRG team for being part of the GRInSTEM/LysisLogic success: Lloyd Snowdon, Jagos Radovic, Kim Nightingale, Ryan Snowdon, Priyanthi Weerawardhena, Susan Dooley and Juan de la Fuente.
