Idea Exploration Programme
Do you have an idea you’d like to explore? Maybe you’ve spotted a problem in everyday life, imagined a new service, a digital tool, or something completely different. The Idea Exploration Programme at UU Innovation helps you take the very first steps to develop your idea.
The next round of the Idea Exploration Programme runs in May 2026. Application is open!
Good to know
- Three morning seminars
- Breakfast included
- Open to anyone who wants to explore the potential of their idea
- No previous experience is needed
Why join?
The Idea Exploration Programme is a short, inspiring introduction to idea development. You’ll gain structure, tools, and new perspectives, while becoming part of a community where ideas grow.
What you’ll gain
- Clarity about your idea’s potential – discover what problem your idea solves, for whom, and how it can be developed further
- Tools and methods – learn how to make your idea clear, attractive, and feasible
- Pitching skills – practice presenting your idea in a way that captures attention
- Personal feedback – get tailored advice from UU Innovation and learn what further support is available
- Inspiration – hear short stories and insights from others who have worked with idea development and entrepreneurship
How it works
The programme consists of three breakfast seminars over three weeks. Between sessions, you’ll work on your idea individually, with optional support from UU Innovation advisors.
