Description
Open Startup, launched in 2018, is an educational pre-acceleration program that helps young talents transform innovative student ideas into viable startup projects. Operating internationally, the program offers a 10-week intensive curriculum with hands-on workshops on design thinking, idea validation, product development, marketing strategy, and financial modeling, alongside personalized mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs. While it doesn’t provide direct funding, Open Startup equips participants with the skills to attract investment and concludes with a pitch competition for exposure to investors and ecosystem actors, fostering the next generation of innovators and a more dynamic, innovation-driven economy.
