The Global Virtual Activator (GVA) is the global branch of Nucleate's Activator program—our flagship accelerator empowering academic trainees to transform their groundbreaking research into successful life science ventures. We meet student-trainee founders and entrepreneurs where they are, offering the same curriulum, network, and mentorship that participants in the 20+ in-person Activator programs enjoy. Entering its third year, the GVA has supported 20 teams across 15 countries and 4 continents.
