    If you have a business idea, we can help you assess whether it has a chance of succeeding in the market, as well as your target audience, value proposition, the resources and partnerships you need, your business model, and more.
  • Technology Assessment
    An assessment of the commercial potential of your scientific and technological development.
  • Bachelor's/Master's Thesis in Entrepreneurship
    If you are writing your undergraduate thesis and/or master’s thesis on starting a business, we will provide you with guidance and support in coordination with your academic advisor.
  • Entrepreneurship Sessions in the Classroom/CEIN
    If your students are in their final year of an undergraduate or master’s program, you can participate in an entrepreneurship session at the CEIN facilities (or in your classroom), where you’ll also have the opportunity to meet leading companies from our incubators or those created with the support of LUCE/CEIN.
  • Master's Degree Entrepreneurship Program
    Your students can also participate in an entrepreneurship immersion program. We will provide you with a theoretical and practical training curriculum, as well as support and mentoring tailored to your course, needs, and objectives.
