Why Convergence?

The Convergence 2023 is a pivotal event addressing a critical challenge in the innovation landscape - the scarcity of early-stage capital and developmental support. Research institutions have responded by instituting gap funding and accelerator programs, evolving over the years into sophisticated mechanisms for nurturing high-growth technologies.
