The project is carried out in collaboration with the expertise of the Gulbenkian Science Institute. Investigating OPT's technological intricacies, Softography’s goal is to identify strategies for leveraging its advantages in establishing a disruptive business venture. The Financial planning of Softography provides insights relying on assumptions of the future projections of establishing such enhanced biopsy procedures. Different funding strategies are explored to support the project’s successful launch and sustainability in order to provide financial coherence and background to Softography’s implementation.engScience-based entrepreneurshipInnovationOptical projection tomographyArtificial intelligenceBiopsy analysisFinancial planningFunding strategiesSoftography: the future of biopsy analysis, financial planning and funding strategiesmaster thesis203866037
