Welcome to SPARK-Bordeaux

SPARK-Bordeaux plays an important role in advancing health innovation from the University of Bordeaux toward clinical use. Built on the model of Stanford University, the programme provides targeted mentoring, education, funding, and access to an international network. Projects are developed with the end goal in mind. While many discoveries are made in the lab, few reach patients. We support projects by de-risking them, increasing their attractiveness for further investment.
