Pre-incubation & Education
Pre-incubation is where the innovation journey begins. Students and researchers receive structured guidance, practical training, and the right mindset to transform raw ideas into early concepts. Through workshops, courses, and mentoring, participants learn how to define real problems, explore user needs, and shape solutions that are both feasible and impactful. This stage is about building confidence, testing creativity, and preparing for the challenges of entrepreneurship.
From idea to concept — our pre-incubation and education programs help you explore innovation and entrepreneurship in practice.
At Obuda University, innovation starts with learning by doing. Our pre-incubation and education activities build the foundation for creative problem-solving and entrepreneurial thinking. Students and researchers gain the skills and confidence to turn early-stage ideas into validated concepts.
Through courses, workshops, and mentoring sessions, participants discover the process of innovation from multiple perspectives — technology, business, and social impact. These programs connect education with real-life projects, preparing innovators for the next steps in incubation and venture creation.
Our innovation courses integrate theory with real-world practice. Students learn how to identify opportunities, design user-centred solutions, and develop viable business models. The courses emphasize teamwork, creativity, and a hands-on approach to entrepreneurship.
