The 12-week pre-incubation programme gives participants skills to help them systematically gauge the feasibility of their ideas and develop them into a sustainable business, by instilling entrepreneurship to the participants. The conclusion of this programme will be a pitch day, followed by graduation.
Through the partnership entrepreneurs can minimize financial risks, get assistance in the selling of pilot products and risk mitigation.
