“Attending Global Engage’s Microbiome R&D & Business Collaboration Forum was transformative for my software tool’s commercialization. The Investor Meet and Greet connected me with invaluable resources, leading to ongoing support from investors and multiple collaboration opportunities. Notably, it facilitated my sponsorship of a women’s health fundraising event and participation in a business pitch competition.”
