The program helps the next generation of Tough Tech leaders navigate the commercialization process through tailored programming which covers a wide array of critical topics, from technology risk mitigation and experimentation planning to market discovery, IP strategies, and effective storytelling, all through a lens of de-risking. Participants have access to a robust network of resources, including The Engine Accelerator and Engine Ventures teams, and connections with Tough Tech founders, investors, policymakers, and corporate leaders.

There are two ways to participate in Blueprint:

— Blueprint Participants are technical graduate students, postdocs, research scientists, and their teams exploring the commercial opportunities of their breakthrough or startup project.

— Commercialization Collaborators are individuals who become integral members of a dedicated Blueprint team for the duration of the program. These collaborators immerse themselves in the team dynamics, working hand-in-hand with their Blueprint counterparts.
