G-FACTOR S.R.L.

Our pledge
G-Factor’s motivation to join the pledge comes from its founding vision – having been established by Fondazione Golinelli, an organization which has been putting training, education and research at the center of its work for over 30 years, with innovation being the driving force that flows through all of its programs and initiatives. As Fondazione Golinelli’s accelerator and incubator, G-Factor’s principles are completely aligned with this focus on education, and has recently decided to run a focused training course (ReActorPro) alongside its core acceleration programme (I-Tech Innovation). ReActorPro was born from interacting with many subjects who expressed the need for an introduction to entrepreneurship, and what this specifically could entail, before founding a startup. G-Factor’s training course ReActorPro aims to bridge the gap between laboratories and research work and starting a company. It gives young researchers and PhD students the opportunity to understand how their idea could become an entrepreneurial project and showcases what tools they will need to get there. ReActorPro has already had a positive impact, with one of the teams which underwent the program having been introduced to potential investors and acceleration programs. We currently run a version of ReActorPro which is free, and winning the prize would allow us to continue to offer this opportunity to everyone, but it would also allow us to extend it to other industry sectors (currently the focus is on life sciences).
