This year, Nobellum is launching the Nobellum Innovator Program, U of T Chapter in collaboration with the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus and its campus linked accelerators – The BRIDGE and The Hub. Our project will be focused on developing a 12 month incubation program for Black startups in STEM.
