We help you move forward
Create Pre-Incubation is a development program for idea owners to test their business idea. The aim is to shape and create sustainable business ideas, increase knowledge about running a business and create networks and valuable relationships as an entrepreneur.
The program starts with a three-part workshop series and then moves into more in-depth lectures and goal-driven business development. Throughout the program, you will be guided by experienced business developers who will support you in identifying the strengths and challenges of your business idea, and help you build a solid foundation for your business. Exercises and assignments will help you answer key questions about your idea and find concrete ways forward.
Through our network, we open doors to experts, investors and other entrepreneurs who can provide you with valuable input and build relationships that extend beyond the duration of the program. The goal is for you to leave pre-incubation with a clear plan for your idea and the first steps to realize it, as well as a stronger understanding of business and entrepreneurship.

Frequently asked questions about
Create Pre-incubation
Anyone who has a business idea and wants support to develop it. It doesn't matter where you are in the process, whether you are alone or in a team, or whether you have run a business before.
Interesting workshops, lectures and personal business development. We focus on individual processes while allowing the group to give and take from each other's competencies. You can expect knowledge, a great network and tools to see if your idea has market potential and thus something to invest in.
You should initially be able to dedicate three afternoons to three workshops. They are about 3 weeks apart and you will be expected to devote some work between the sessions, which are physical. For participants continuing in Part 2, there will be face-to-face and digital workshops approximately every three to four weeks, and again, tasks to do between sessions. The more you work, the more you get out of the program and the advice of our business developers.
There is no limit to the initial three workshop sessions. The number of participants continuing through the second part of the program is then limited to a maximum of 15.
