Showcasing our Science Alumni Award Winners

Please join us for a lively panel discussion and networking reception featuring some of our most recent Science alumni Award winners.

Latif Nanji (Co-Founder of Roadmunk), Moazam Khan and Matthew Sefati (Co-Founders of Curiato) discuss where opportunities arise in a constantly changing landscape. Learn how these panelists took advantage of their systemic thinking, and used the scientific method to solve important problems, and leverage that problem solving into building a successful business.
