INNsula presents StartUp Creation Lab: a programme designed to support young people and professionals in developing entrepreneurial ideas, through training, hands-on work and direct interaction with experts and businesses.
The programme kicked off on 17 June with the “Innovation Scenarios” Kick-off and continues with a series of sessions until September. You don’t need to attend from start to finish: ideally you’d follow the whole path, since each module builds on the previous one, but if a single topic interests you, you’re welcome to join just one session.
The path
The programme offers a series of sessions combining:
- training on business culture and the startup world
- hands-on development of project ideas
- use of innovative tools and methodologies
- discussion, networking and presentation sessions
The goal is to provide practical skills to turn an idea into a structured entrepreneurial project.
What you’ll learn
Throughout the path you will:
- understand the key elements of entrepreneurial culture
- develop and test a business idea
- apply methodologies such as Design Thinking and the Lean approach
- build an effective Business Model
- work in a team and leverage complementary skills
- prepare a clear and compelling presentation
