Our projects
Scientist entrepreneurs at Wfront receive funding for one year to work on their projects. After this year they have to provide proof of product. They receive both practical and financial support to either open source their project or start a business. On this page you find the projects our Wfront scientists are currently working on.
Tweezer Microscope
