Content

You don’t need a team, previous experience or a start-up project. All the tools you require for a successful start-up will be provided for you. Together with experienced start-up coaches, you will gain insights into topics such as team building, market analysis, prototyping and pretotyping, business models and start-up pitches. At the end you will get the chance to present your start-up project in front of a top-class jury and you can win valuable prizes.

Target Group

The incubator is aimed at all scientists in the Cyber Valley ecosystem – and beyond. Ph.D. students of the International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems (IMPRS-IS) will receive 3 credit points upon successful completion of the course.
