Innovation courses

Obuda University’s innovation courses and programs focus on developing entrepreneurial mindset, creative problem-solving, and innovation skills. They enable students and researchers to tackle real-world challenges, transforming their ideas into viable concepts, projects, and ventures.

Starting from the pre-incubation phase, the programs guide participants through the entire innovation journey — from idea generation to validation, and up to the Proof of Concept (PoC) or MVP stage. The portfolio includes both theoretical and hands-on courses, as well as national startup programs. These courses form the core of the university’s innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, preparing participants for the next stages of incubation and acceleration.
