The Innovation Center of the Ústí nad Labem Region (ICUK) is launching the 14th run of its business incubator Startup Go! The program once again opens its doors to startups and aspiring entrepreneurs who want to turn their ideas into a successful business, and offers professional consultations, mentoring, workshops, and connections with partners and investors.
Why get involved?
Startup Go! helps participants avoid unnecessary mistakes and accelerate the development of their projects. "Our goal is to support everyone who has the courage to start a business and wants to take their innovative ideas further. Startup Go! offers practical support and experience that can be key to further growth,” says ICUK director Martin Mata.
Who is the program intended for?
The incubator is designed for budding entrepreneurs and startups within three years of founding that have a desire to innovate and change the world around them. Participants will undergo individual consultations, workshops and networking, and at the final Startup Go Grill event they have the opportunity to present their project to a panel of experts and potential investors.
Success stories that inspire
Startup Go! has a number of successful graduates:
My police officer, the winner of the 11th year, has developed a modern application for effective communication between citizens and the city police. Thanks to the incubator, it has expanded its activities and is looking for other opportunities, for example in the integration of crisis reports or interactive maps. The application is already helping to increase safety in several Czech cities and has ambitions to grow to the national level.
Hypedigital, a graduate of the 12th course, successfully deployed his chatbot – a virtual assistant with artificial intelligence – on the website of the Ústí nad Labem Region and ICUK. It now automates communication and streamlines the provision of information to citizens and businesses.
Reframed, a 12th grade graduate, brings an innovative solution for installing solar panels on historic buildings. Thanks to cooperation with E.ON and CTU, he is already testing the solution in the field and changing the approach to renewable energy.
IQstat, the winner of the last Startup Go! run, developed a mobile application for flexible electricity consumption. Their solution helps households save costs by automatically optimizing the use of appliances according to the current electricity price and photovoltaic production. Thanks to the ICUK incubator, they gained not only valuable contacts, but also support for further product development.
