The "Incubation Program" is a cooperation project between HHL and HSZG and brings together students from all departments. Over a period of 12 weeks, mixed teams work with partner companies on ideas and problems with a clear goal: new start-ups and projects.
Each team is accompanied by experienced coaches from HSZG and HHL.
The highlights of the program are the mid-term and final presentations ("Market" and "Launch Day"), which provide a lot of visibility.
The lectures take place virtually - the project work with the companies or on your own startup takes place according to individual planning.
