The Story of Our Logo

STEM TO STARTUP is an integral part of GDC’s ethos and captures the quintessence of GDC’s mission. The acronym, STEM, stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics – the disciplines that form the underpinnings of scientific research and basis for deep-tech startups. GDC’s objective is to enable the transformation of science into startups that impact society at scale. The Lab to Market journey that GDC undertakes with STEM universities and laboratories is aptly and poetically represented as STEM TO STARTUP.
