Validé offers a complete ecosystem for innovation, whether the ideas come from the research environment, established businesses or from entrepreneurs who want to start their own.
Validé offers growth programs for companies in various phases of their entrepreneurial journey. In the incubator, entrepreneurial teams receive one-to-one advice, and Validé invests in the most promising teams and ideas.
How do I start a company?
What is the most important start-up capital for new entrepreneurs?
A lot of courage and little money is the classic entrepreneurial story, but we claim that the most important start-up capital you and your idea need, is knowledge.
Our heart beats to give good ideas a chance in the market.
Our new ITSA Start program provides basic skills for new entrepreneurs. You show courage. We share our knowledge. For free.
You can apply today.
The next ITSA Start program will be announced here
How to make the startup grow?
