FIELDS INCUBATOR PROPOSALS
In 1999 , Fields began a program to foster startup companies that commercialize mathematical ideas and that can benefit from the expertise at the Fields Institute . Companies are approved by the Fields Board on recommendation by the Industrial Advisory Board . The goal of the program is to enable members of the Fields community to start business ventures by giving them access to the physical , intellectual , and logistical resources of the Institute . Examples of successful Fields startups are Sigma Analysis and Management and R 2 Financial Technologies .
More information about this program can be obtained by contacting the Director at director @ fields . utoronto . ca .
