Mitacs Accelerate Entrepreneur supports student and postdoctoral founders who want to advance the core research or technology of their own incorporated start-up. It sits under Mitacs and keeps the academic link in place through partner institutions, but the commercial company is the vehicle that receives the benefit. The focus is the founder's venture, not an outside client's project.
