Circe: Transforming Greenhouse Gases into Biodegradable Products Institute Project
Institute Projects are technologies that are considerably de-risked
and the teams have received feedback from potential investors that
has identified how the technology must be further de-risked technically
and commercially to warrant funding and ensure near-term commercial
success. Funds can be requested to recruit entrepreneurs-in-residence
with domain-specific expertise to help lead the team as well as to carry
out late stage validation efforts, including reducing costs of
manufacturing, demonstrating clinician buy-in, conducting regulatory
and market analyses, and carrying out Phase I clinical trials.
