UNITE! Pre-Incubation Program
International entrepreneurship education across the UNITE! alliance
The UNITE! Entrepreneurship Development – Pre-Incubation Program (PIP) is an international Seed Fund initiative developed together with partners from Wrocław University of Science and Technology, TU Darmstadt, and TU Graz.
The programme is designed as a hands-on, experience-based learning journey for students and PhD candidates from universities within the UNITE! alliance. It combines entrepreneurship, AI and business informatics, business psychology, and startup development methodologies.
A central aim of the programme is to support the commercialization of research and patents by connecting interdisciplinary student teams with technology transfer centres, incubators, legal experts, industry specialists, and startup practitioners.
In March 2026, the project team met in Wrocław to co-develop the programme structure and shape its educational and organizational framework. The planned programme launch is March 2027.
