• Home will always bring you back to this page; use the navigation bar on the top and left to get through all the information.
• Take a look at our Value Proposition, to understand if it matches your needs at this point. Find out whether or not the time commitment and dates work for you and your co-founders.
• See if there’s a program fit with our Selection Criteria & Process and Areas of Action (focus topics) for 2025.
• Prepare your application and hand it in by November 30th here. If you still have questions, reach out to us, and we will try our best to help.
• Finally, follow us on social media to stay in the loop.
• In case you have any open questions, you can find our contact details here. </aside>
