Program

Program
Incubation

Open and flexible in design. 

The incubation phase is open until the end of May. You can join at any time and move forward with the support of CEIN’s specialized team. 

We’ll lay the groundwork for your project so you can clearly define your business model and move toward a first version of your product or service in a structured and thoughtful way. 

Selection

In June, together with stakeholders and companies in the ecosystem, we will select the 10 projects best prepared to move on to the acceleration phase. 

Acceleration

At this stage, the focus is on bringing the project to market. We will work to turn the idea into a market-ready product or service, tailor it to real customers, and determine how to market it. In addition, we will prepare the final project presentation. 

Final Event

We will conclude the program with a presentation of projects to industry representatives and companies.
