The CIMTI mentor team offers personalized support to the projects selected to enter the Impact Program to help them validate market aspects and guide them in their financing strategy. Through individual sessions, our team of mentors helps the projects promoted by the CIMTI to define a solid business strategy, advising them in the process of maturation and growth of the project. They also accompany them in issues such as competitive calls, financial projections, the search for investors and other relevant aspects to achieve the success of innovative projects in the field of health.
