FOSTERING OF START UP COMPANIES
In 1999, Fields began a program to foster start-up companies that commercialize mathematical ideas and that can benefit from co-location at the Fields Institute. Companies are approved by the Fields Board on recommendation by the IAB. The goal of the program is to enable members of the Fields community to start business ventures by giving them access to the physical, intellectual and logistical resources of the Institute.
In 2008, one of the first start-up companies in this program, Sigma Analysis and Management, graduated from the program and moved off-campus, attaining the designation of a "senior" firm. Followed by R2 Financial Technologies
More information about this program can be obtained by contacting the Director at director<at>fields.utoronto.ca
