SIGN UP

Do you want to understand what it takes to launch a science-based startup? UtrechtInc’s four-week Ideation Program, a simple free online evening course, could be your first step towards making a significant impact with your research.

In this program, we delve into the entrepreneurial sphere, addressing key questions such as:

• What defines a startup?
• How can a startup incubator assist me?
• Is entrepreneurship the right path for me?
• Can entrepreneurship coexist with an academic career?

You will participate in an expert session each Monday and an optional progress session each Wednesday, both running from 20.00-21.00 hours.

Who is eligible to participate?

Employees from Utrecht’s renowned knowledge institutes, including Utrecht University, UMC Utrecht, Wilhelmina Kinderziekenhuis, Prinses Máxima Centrum, Hubrecht Institute, and Hogeschool Utrecht are welcome to join.

Cost & availability

We run this free program around 4 times per year. Participation is free of charge.
