About the Program
The IDEA Program aims at bringing together students, that are currently in their 3rd or higher semester of studies, from different Universities to formulate interdisciplinary entrepreneurial teams and work on specific areas to do so. Students are evaluated through a questionnaire based on their entrepreneurial competencies and are then divided into complementary groups. The program has a total duration of 7 days and is completed in two weeks time. Participants are trained through workshops and seminars such as business planning, market research, pitching etc. and then are invited to present their final ideas in a formal ceremony where they are validated by a scientific committee. Approximately 50 students benefit from this project each semester.
