The latest round of the pre-incubator express is up and running with nine new business ideas. Participants now have the chance to explore and develop their concepts together with eXpression coaches. An autumn filled with workshops, business development and inspiring meetings awaits.
It's a really exciting and mixed group that's getting started. This is one of the strengths of the express programme - that the participants can give each other new perspectives and support each other. Then we coaches are there all the time as a sounding board and make sure to provide good tools for the phase they are in," says Mr Kane. Fanny Lindénwho leads the programme together with Emil Hägglund.
All participants are at the beginning of their business journey, which means that a lot of time will be spent on needs verification and market analysis. Daring to test and develop the business idea is at the heart of the express programme.
We really try to encourage participants to be open and to dare to try new things. It's a luxury when you're starting up, that you can afford to make quite big changes. One step back then three steps forward. It's a fun, creative and rewarding process," he adds. Emil Hägglund.
