The Business Lab

 

You will be supported in our 4-month online programme to turn your business idea into reality. You will work on your idea and receive workshops, mentoring, coaching, marketing package and networking access.

The programme is divided into three phases that you go through in 4 months. These consist of workshops, meet-ups and 1:1 coaching sessions so that we can support you in the best possible way.

DEVELOP YOUR IDEA

The first part of the programme is all about refining and developing your concept.

In the workshops and with your coach, you will work directly on your idea and develop your business model in detail.

TEST AND IMPLEMENT

In the second phase, we give you concrete tools to implement your idea: You will define your mission and vision as well as your branding.

We will clarify your questions about tax, legal form and financing.

PREVIEW

At the end of the programme, you will present your idea to an audience. Experts and the audience will give you feedback on your pitch and you can make further contacts and expand your network.

You are ready to start your own business and can further develop your business idea.
