JAZ Tank
Jefferson’s JAZ Tank was created out of the Jefferson Accelerator Zone to foster entrepreneurship and innovation, and engage the Jefferson community in bringing life to the products and companies that will drive the future of healthcare. As a way to foster entrepreneurship and innovation at Jefferson, JAZ Tank aims to help members of the healthcare community develop their business ideas into tangible products that can benefit the medical field.
JAZ Tank invited established teams with business models from across the enterprise, as well as the general public, to enter the JAZ Tank Business Track. Individuals and teams with emergent ideas for health-related products or services were welcome to submit their ideas to the JAZ Tank Opportunity Track.
