In seven consecutive meetups, we would like to develop and discuss ideas together using the methods of design thinking.

The event is aimed at anyone who is interested in developing business ideas, whether they are prospective founders, employees in companies or simply curious people who want to improve their creative skills.

Ideally, they have already completed a DesignThinking workshop. In cooperation with the IHK Dresden, the workshop Business Idea Development will take place on 31.03.2023 and 01.04.2023.

Each Meetup offers the opportunity to exchange ideas with other founders and entrepreneurs and to learn from each other. During the meetups, we will cover various topics, from qualitative market analysis, defining customer needs and brainstorming to business model development. We will also address current megatrends and developments in the start-up scene.
