Join the 3rd edition of the Blended Intensive Programme – Mentoring Programme: Turning Ideas into Businesses

The 3rd edition of this Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) starts online on 25 May, with face-to-face sessions taking place from 22 to 26 June at the University of Minho, Guimarães (Portugal).

UMinho invites Arqus academics and students to collaborate in the co-creation and implementation of the initiative “Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) Mentoring Programme – Turning Ideas into Businesses”.

This initiative is especially appealing to those who are looking to develop and/or improve a business idea and turn intensive knowledge and technology into successful products and startups. In this BIP you will have the opportunity to present and work on a business idea or startup project.

A partner will be responsible for a group of students enrolled in the BIP (2 to 4) and also may contribute on the course design and/or the classes with materials and/or tutors for both the online and face-to-face activities. Together, the different partners will constitute a network for new BIPs and further joint activities in the context of university innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystems.

A BIP is an innovative form of learning, teaching and training which offers an intensive learning experience using both physical and virtual components. It represents an opportunity to co-create curriculum and activities through a collaborative approach among the partner institutions.

Specifically, this BIP aims to promote the sharing of experiences and good practices in the process of transforming ideas into businesses, namely through the stages: 1) Innovation creativity and value proposition, 2) Client development and market analysis, 3) Business model design, 4) Business evaluation, creation, launching and management.
