Discover entrepreneurship with the startup workshop
Do you have an innovative idea and do you want to start a business? Or do you simply want to know what entrepreneurship entails? During our Startup Workshop you discover all the ins and outs of going from idea to startup - in just a single evening. Take the first step with our startup support during the workshop.
ALL THE INS AND OUTS OF GOING FROM IDEA TO STARTUP DURING OUR WORKSHOP
During the 4-hour Startup Workshop you will get the basic insights to build your innovative idea into a business: from idea to startup. Even if you don’t have a business idea yet, this workshop is perfect for learning more about entrepreneurship. Whether you are a motivated entrepreneur or a student at Saxion, University of Twente or Windesheim; learn about key elements such as the validation, market analysis, business model, and pitching.
How does it work?
The Startup Workshop is designed for UT students, Saxion students, and non-students with an interest in entrepreneurship. The workshop takes place at Incubase on the UT Campus over a single evening of approximately 3,5 hours. You don’t need to have an idea yet, but if you do, that’s of course welcome!
After participating, you’ll understand the basic principles of launching your own startup. Perhaps you and your team will have already come up with a strong business idea during the workshop. In that case, you’ll be ready for the next step: the START program.
Validate your startup idea with the start program
Do you already have a good business idea and are you ready to start? Or have you successfully completed the workshop and want to continue with your business idea? Then the START program might be something for you. During this (online) startup accelerator program, you start with a validation sprint and turn your business idea into a startup.
How much does it cost?
The Startup Workshop is funded by Novel-T, which means it’s completely free for you!
Why is it free?
Novel-T operates on behalf of its founders—University of Twente, Saxion University of Applied Sciences, the Municipality of Enschede, Twente Board, and the Province of Overijssel—to strengthen the innovative power of entrepreneurs in Twente. From this perspective, we offer our startup programs free of charge. This means:
- All startup programs are funded by us; you don’t need to spend a cent.
- Your contribution is your commitment; in exchange for participating, we expect your dedication to making your startup succeed.
- Novel-T or its founders do not claim any rights to your startup or ideas. Our sole goal is to help you and your startup succeed—nothing more, nothing less.
The only exception to this rule applies to spin-offs resulting from university research. For details about spin-offs, please contact the Knowledge Transfer Office (KTO).
