What is upCAT?<\/p>\n \n

UPCAT THE PRE-ACCELERATOR PROGRAMME FROM ENTECHNON<\/h2>\n \n

The upCAT 2.0 Pre-Accelerator Program is a new format of the Accelerator Program, where students meet startups and work together. upCAT is a joint offer from EnTechnon, the Chair of Entrepreneurship and Technology Management, and the KIT Startup Incubator. In the new format of this program, which will start in 2023, a completely new approach will be implemented.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All KIT students who are in the Bachelor’s program may participate. Within the framework of the “Student2Startup” seminar of the EnTchnon, they then work together with startups during one semester.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the end of the semester, there is the Demo Day: pitching in front of seminar participants, startups, and the local startup community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

THE PROGRAMME<\/p>\n \n

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT AT UPCAT?<\/h2>\n \n

In the form of a pre-accelerator program, startups and research teams work on their ideas to define the key strategic challenges they face. As part of a new “Student2Startup” seminar offered by EnTechnon, bachelor students will then work in teams to find solutions to these challenges, with the support of mentors from industry.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this way, students can gain hands-on experience working on real business ideas, while teams and early-stage startups are supported in finding solutions to their challenges.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In addition, both student teams and startups are supported by experienced mentors from industry and academia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
