UU Innovation Idea Acceleration Programme
Are you ready to take the next step with your innovative idea? Join our Idea Acceleration Programme designed for those who already have an initial value proposition and want to transform it into a practical and innovative solution.
Over two sessions, we will guide you from using the NABC (Need, Approach, Benefit, Competition) framework to developing a comprehensive canvas by systematically adding key perspectives to your idea. Additionally, we will provide useful tools to help you build a detailed activity plan to support your development. Between sessions, you will be assigned beneficial homework to accelerate the progress of your idea.
After the programme, participants will be equipped to advance their innovation projects, apply for VFT funding to carry out key activities according to their plan, and join the UU Innovation Mentor Programme.
Who can join?
Ideal for those who have developed a NABC, e.g., by previously participating in the Idea Exploration Programme.
