HUBS Pre-incubator is the place to develop a business idea in a sustainable way. The 8-week program combines the methods of team learning, purposeful development of team working skills alongside the traditional business development.

The students and the coach tailor the exact content based on team-specific / individual needs. The course includes mandatory lessons on Lean Startup methodology and business development. In addition, teams are instructed to read articles, literature and study other online materials on relevant entrepreneurial themes. The gained knowledge is applied to practice with various validations, evaluations, and business planning templates.

Training sessions:

Each group has training sessions, where business idea development topics are handled in dialogue. The students / teams get to share their progress, ask for peer advice and receive coaching. Coaches, team colleagues, and a personal working life mentor support the business idea development process along the way. The student will draw a study plan and reports the results in a separately agreed manner (goals, outcomes and reflection of the learning process documented).
