Rooted in scientific seeds originating from universities and research institutions, we accelerate opportunity realization through collaboration with startups, corporations, investors, and domain experts—bridging breakthrough research with practical implementation. Beyond funding or incubation, HARBOR delivers comprehensive support that includes regulatory strategy, industry–academia collaboration, and access to clinical and real-world validation environments. Through this multifaceted ecosystem, innovators gain the pathway, resources, and confidence needed to move from discovery to deployment—turning promising ideas into meaningful healthcare solutions. HARBOR strives to be both a safe harbor where innovators can take bold risks with support, and a launch point for new ventures to chart their path forward and shape the future of medicine.
