About Vice-Principal ResearchSince its inception, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Partnerships and Innovation카지노 게임 컬렉션s Wings program has helped a diverse, eclectic range of entrepreneurs and innovators successfully launch their businesses. Run by a team experienced in helping startups take flight and drawing on experts in a range of fields, the program has taught participants how to recognize their strengths, focus on what it is they are really selling, and identifying their customers. The program welcomed its final cohort of fledgling startups this January 2023. These are their stories.
Siziwe Bebe, Demagel카지노 게임 컬렉션s CEO and founder has plans for creating a polymer electrolyte membrane she hopes will be a better alternative in terms of operational efficiency, safety, sustainability, and cost. The Wings program is helping Demagel get there.
A trained chemical engineer from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 with a strong background in polymer kinetics and electrochemistry, and experience in the energy storage technologies, she had the idea of founding Demagel when she joined the WE-CAN Project, which was created by Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Partnerships and Innovation (QPI) to encourage female entrepreneurs. She and her partner had been doing a lot of consulting, but hadn카지노 게임 컬렉션t much cared for the way, they were treated as self-employed outsiders. Perhaps running their own company would be a better experience, they thought, and Demagel, a 카지노 게임 컬렉션scientific technical consulting company카지노 게임 컬렉션, was born in April 2022. Its mission, Bebe says, is 카지노 게임 컬렉션to accelerate promising green tech카지노 게임 컬렉션 across a range of industries as well as working closely with universities to develop promising innovative technologies, affordably.
Through WE-CAN, Bebe connected with various members of QPI카지노 게임 컬렉션s team when she was looking for help patenting another idea she카지노 게임 컬렉션d had. She learned about Wings, which sounded like an excellent next step for someone not versed in the world of business. But there was a challenge. The bulk of the other companies enrolled in the program had a more tangible product. Rick Boswell, one of their QPI contacts, wondered if Demagel had something like that.
In fact, Demagel did: a membrane that she had worked on many years previously when still in her home country. Specifically created for use in electrolyzers and fuel cells, it was created out of a hydrocarbon-polymer. But they카지노 게임 컬렉션d never taken it to the next step. This now appeared to be an opportunity. Before the Wings program had even begun, Demagel had pivoted to a degree. Today the goal is to create a product that matches the Perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) composite membranes, widely touted, she says, as the 카지노 게임 컬렉션best out there.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Speaking of the Wings program, she says, 카지노 게임 컬렉션At first we thought it was so difficult.카지노 게임 컬렉션
But she quickly changed her mind. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Wings taught us how to approach the business aspect,카지노 게임 컬렉션 of their work says Bebe. Above all, she says, Wings카지노 게임 컬렉션 great benefit was to help Demagel clarify its 카지노 게임 컬렉션value proposition카지노 게임 컬렉션 카지노 게임 컬렉션 the idea or statement that encapsulates what it is that others need or would like that you can give them.
카지노 게임 컬렉션When we started,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says, 카지노 게임 컬렉션we just didn카지노 게임 컬렉션t know how to organize our ideas. Wings taught us to put things in perspective and summarize.카지노 게임 컬렉션 Before, if they were trying to explain to a potential investor what they were doing, she says, they would have pumped out pages and pages about their inventions. Working with what they learned in Wings, they understood, that 카지노 게임 컬렉션we could just put it on a single slide,카지노 게임 컬렉션 She and Demagel benefitted too from the experiences of their fellow participants 카지노 게임 컬렉션 even when working remotely. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Questions from other participants, such as 카지노 게임 컬렉션Did you try this, did you try that?카지노 게임 컬렉션 gave us an idea about the similarities of business카지노 게임 컬렉션, she says.
Since finishing the program, Demagel has continued down the path that Wings showed them. They continue to work on refining the membrane that they have developed and thanks to their involvement with QPI and in the Wings program, they were admitted into GreenCentre Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s Advance-ON program, where GreenCentre personnel provide technical services to cleantech start-ups, driving their early-stage innovations to market faster. 카지노 게임 컬렉션We gained this opportunity thanks in no small part to the pitching skills that we learned during Wings,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says.
