Opportunity to enter the world of innovation and business: The second edition of InQUBE Academy is launching

07.02.2025

Introducing young startup founders to the world of innovation and equipping them with essential managerial skills and practical entrepreneurial knowledge is the goal of InQUBE Academy—a comprehensive and free incubation program. Its second edition is now launching. InQUBE Academy is a three-month, free mentoring program organized by the University Business Incubator InQUBE, operating at the Wrocław University of Economics and Business. Participants will embark on a journey from young innovators to entrepreneurs. They will have the opportunity to gain not only practical entrepreneurial knowledge but also managerial skills essential for running a startup.

“Our program is aimed at ambitious, committed individuals who are already working on their ideas. Above all, we want to help them structure their knowledge and give them the motivation to continue developing their projects.”
Maciej Klaczyński, coordinator of InQUBE Academy

Seven key business topics

The program is divided into seven key thematic blocks, each covering essential aspects for a startup’s success. At the beginning, participants will define the mission and vision of their project and then focus on the real needs of potential customers and developing a business model.

The next stages include practical workshops on law, finance, and marketing. In the final phase of the program, participants will work on product and technology development, with a focus on designing an MVP (Minimum Viable Product).

"Just the essentials" for starting a startup

According to Krzysztof Kołodziński, founder of RzuBeretem.eco and a participant in the previous edition of InQUBE Academy, the program can be compared to a series of “book summaries” that have helped many students prepare for exams:

“It selects the most important topics and presents them in a condensed form—just the essentials, or in a vegetarian version, just the tofu. Perfect for preparing for the ‘startup founding exam.’”
Krzysztof Kołodziński

Connecting extraordinary people with experts

The strategic partner of InQUBE Academy is BNY, which will provide numerous expert consultations for program participants. The program is also supported by representatives from investment funds such as SpeedUp Group, Hard2Beat, and 24Ventures. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to learn from practitioners representing companies like Valueships, InkSearch, Personit, Numlabs, and Hanza Group.

As Jan Jakub Cendrowski, director of InQUBE, emphasizes, the incubator’s primary goal is to connect extraordinary people with experts in their respective fields:

“We always strive to ensure that our initiatives—not only provide knowledge—but also allow participants to expand their business network, which may prove valuable in the future. This time is no different.”
Jan Jakub Cendrowski

According to him, the fact that so many partners from investment funds, startups, law firms, and tech companies have joined the program is a crucial asset.
