StartUp LAB

Universities traditionally prepare future generations on various professional careers, but up until lately entrepreneurship was not perceived as a profession per se, one that you can learn in school. In fact, in market economies, we need as much, or perhaps even more entrepreneurs, as we need engineers, doctors, lawyers, economists, etc. because new creative businesses create jobs, innovation and technology.

This program aim is to inspire young people to create an entrepreneurial mindset. We share the belief that every individual is capable of creating something that can bring value to the world. Our goal is to help them find purpose and passion in their lives through entrepreneurship. Youth are creative, innovative, and energetic and with some guidance and the necessary resources, they are capable of building products and services that will benefit the world around them.

 

CITi Incubator is a mentoring, training and support program for students with innovative ideas and a connecting point for them with people with knowledge and experience in starting up a business. Giving them the first push into becoming entrepreneurs and showing them the way to build sustainable and innovative businesses which will help them and the community to prosper.

Starting from early concept/idea phases up to more advanced startup stages, this program provides support, training, expertise and networking over a period of 2-12 months. During this period the participants will attend several events and courses with the objective to make business easy, because success it’s not only about the ideas but also about knowledge and execution.

With the goal of providing all the tools necessary for start-uppers to accomplish their business projects, we have teamed up experts to create an educational and collaboration hub. We operate based on the entrepreneurship ecosystem that it creates. Strategic partnerships are part of the philosophy of continuously striving to sustain, connect and boost startup initiatives.

The program has three main modules build to pick up startups at idea conception phase and lead them through on the way of validating that idea, building MVP, finding financing and finally facing the market.
