Pre-incubation programme "Ideepesa" 2.0

This is a pre-incubation programme aimed at 1st and 2nd level students in higher education who want to actively engage in entrepreneurship development, but need basic knowledge and support in the process of getting from idea development to the pre start-up phase (seed phase). On the course you will learn both entrepreneurship theory and do practical tasks where you will get help from our team of mentors. Participants will be able to work in groups on pre-selected ideas, that will be introduced on the first in person session, developing it into a business phase that could take part in a hackathon or an idea competition at the end of the programme.
