LET’S GET STARTED!

How to bring your start-up into play.

Our Call for Business Ideas is open all year round, so you can apply at any time. Twice a year, we decide which start-ups to accept and which of our programmes is right for them: the Incubation Programme or the Acceleration & Scale-up Programme. The intake sessions usually take place in spring and autumn, but if we receive a large number of applications, we may schedule an additional session. And this is how the selection process works: 

1
Phase 1: First we focus on formalities.

Is your application complete? Is your motivation letter compelling? Is your business plan ready? Who is on your team? Most importantly: Are you already a start-up? Got everything ready? Great, on to round two:

Phase 2: Now things get real.

Make sure you’re on top form – it's time to present your start-up to the selection committee. Our starting point: the prospect of success. How do we define it? We look at your mindset, at how your team works and whether your idea is future-oriented. We evaluate the market potential and your financing strategy. Let us be honest: we do not raise false hopes – we promote business models.

Did it work out? Good job! You’re part of the Start-up Incubator at NOI. Time to get to work.
