Workshops & Team Challenge

This information will serve as a basis “to get ready” for your further decisions and prioritization of implementation steps. Furthermore, these are an initial design base for your corporate documentation, communication internally and external stakeholders, also for INiTS regarding the INiTS AplusB Scale-up criteria`s intensity (in special “innovative and technology and/or research base/intensity with growth potential)
As part of your INiTS application, we provide you a basic INiTS business concept and liquidity plan as application documents in which you can formulate your findings, introduce your team, current readiness in progress, quality and scope of the business concept and pitch it in front of the INiTS team afterwards. Building on that, a further selection of those start-ups happens who can be invited for the upcoming INiTS Project Advisory Board Meeting. (recommendation for the INiTS Incubation, starts with the INiTS Start-up Camp).
