Project Healthcare Commercialization
Spring 2026 Subcohort
Nashville Entrepreneur Center, Life Science Tennessee and LaunchTN, partnering to bring Tennessee healthcare innovations to market.
About the Program
EC and Life Science TN are partnering to help commercialize ideas and technologies across the state of TN. The 2026 Project Healthcare Commercialization Spring Subcohort will assist up to five startups with their commercialization ideas by leveraging the programmatic benefits of the spring 2026 Project Healthcare program.
By leveraging both this curriculum and its connections, as well as the resources of Life Science Tennessee (LST), these startups will go to market and achieve success faster. This will also further build Tennessee’s effectiveness at taking life science companies to market and further establishing the state as a sought-after destination for growth in the life sciences sector.
