Are you a scientist, researcher, or advanced student eager to explore whether your startup idea or research findings can be transformed into an impactful venture?
Are you considering applying for our next incubation cohort starting this autumn and want to find out whether you are startup-ready?
Join our intensive 1-day pre-incubation sprint to find out!
You will work hands-on on key startup topics such as user needs, problem-solution fit, market potential, business models, and pitching. Together with experienced Incubation coaches, venture consultants, and peers from different disciplines, you will turn early-stage ideas into structured venture concepts.
