Match & Start
Do you have an early-stage startup idea? Are you an entrepreneurial spirited individual looking to
join a startup in its early days? Are you in the need of co-founders or extra members for your team?
During the Match & Start SPRINT programme, that runs from 16/07 until 22/09, enlarged and newly formed international teams work on their concepts and develop prototypes, which could be further developed into real businesses.
Input and various feedback sessions are provided by industry experts, business coaches as well as relevant startups and industry partners. Business concepts of international teams are matched with the most suitable incubators in the partner network for further support in development, incubation (virtual and physical) and market entry.
