40 projects embark on Phase 1 of the UCreate program

The new cohort has chosen its name: "D.I.G your idea"

Last Saturday, we welcomed the participants of this new cohort at Villanova for a dynamic kickoff event. The day featured a rich program: an introduction to UCreate, pitch sessions, an alumni project showcase (Motifs Formations), and the first workshops to explore their entrepreneurial ideas.

The 90 participants come from six faculties of UNIL, including students, alumni, professors, staff, and researchers. Their projects span a wide range of fields.

Over the next six workshops, the cohort will explore their ideas by testing market desirability and assessing their entrepreneurial mindset. Erica Mazerolle and Emilie Romon Carnegie, from the HUB, will guide this Spring 2025 cohort.

A huge thank you to Ljupka Mitrinovska, Sophie Conchon, Anne Headon, and Anne Liquois, who led the day's workshops: Problem Framing, Impact, Stakeholder Mapping, and Market Insight.
