Several of our students, associates, and alumni have gone off to found their own companies, building on the knowledge and experience they gained during their time at the NanoDTC. A number of these have been strongly supported by the NanoDTC Translational Prize / NanoFutures Leadership Award, seed funds and translational funding from Cambridge Enterprise and have benefitted from the University Enterprise Network more generally.
