UPTEC will support 15 researchers with business ideas
This Startup School for Researchers, a programme promoted by UPTEC as part of the DEEP INVENTHEI project, aims to promote entrepreneurial skills that improve young entrepreneurs' ability to structure and implement business ideas. To this end, during the programme, participants will have the opportunity to meet CEOs of startups and established companies, who will share their experiences as global entrepreneurs. The Startup School for Researchers also includes mentoring moments with UPTEC experts and guest entrepreneurs.
During the programme, which includes 36 hours of sessions, participants can work as a team on their research projects and turn them into business ideas. If participants don't have a research project or a team, they will be grouped together to develop a potential business project. After pitch training, participants can present their solutions to a jury in the final session.
