Venture & Ecosystem Growth

From programs that train many companies
to programs that deliver real growth for each company

The Innovation Lab diagnoses, trains, mentors, and coaches startup teams and technology companies in line with the program objectives of public institutions, universities and university–industry cooperation foundations, and support organizations. We design and operate the entire journey, from a single camp to cohort-based acceleration, multi-year growth programs, and coach development.

Who this is for

There may be many participating companies, but each has different challenges and is at a different stage of growth.
Beyond training satisfaction, the program must produce evidence of business model change, customer validation, and execution results.
Technology companies need support in finding markets and customers after field validation.
Camps, training, mentoring, and IR are disconnected from one another.
We want to systematize selection, diagnosis, coach assignment, interim reviews, and performance management.
The region needs coaches and facilitators who can continue supporting startups.
We need to strengthen both the mission and sustainable revenue models of social ventures and local businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quickly explore The Innovation Lab’s role and methodologies from the perspective of your challenge.

Who is the Startup & Technology Commercialization Growth Program for?

It is designed to help public institutions, universities and university–industry cooperation foundations, and support organizations systematically support customer validation, business models, market entry, and growth execution for the startups and technology commercialization teams they incubate.

What support does the program include?

We combine preliminary diagnosis, training and camps, team-specific mentoring and coaching, PBL, acceleration, and performance management to fit each challenge and stage. The intensity of support is adjusted to each team's bottlenecks and level of evidence.

Can teams with technology but uncertain markets participate?

Yes. The focus is on translating the technology into customer problems and value, narrowing the target customer and use context, and then validating marketability hypotheses through interviews and experiments.
