The cornerstone of the Support Program is the creation of a roadmap, personalized to each Recipient project鈥檚 status and needs. The roadmaps will be developed during an in-person event called Passing the Torch, where recipients and a pool of MIF experts will be present.

Recipients will first pitch their projects to the room. Then, each expert will then choose which project they would like to work with by sitting at the Team's designated table. Once the tables are formed, recipients and experts will go through a structured brainstorming workshop to identify key objectives that the team should to reach in the next 12 months to bring their business to the next level. Experts will be able to provide insights on how to accomplish the objectives and to advise recipients on the resources that should be considered for each objective. This will be an opportunity for recipients to acknowledge the step-by-step process that goes into establishing a business.
