The three-month incubation program for early-stage innovation projects

The three-month incubation program for early-stage innovation projects, the ICM Early Ride Program, is an incubator program for innovation projects originating from the academic environment in Baden-Württemberg, with a strong focus on mobility and production. We assist students, PhD candidates, and post-docs from research institutions in exploring the potential of their research and igniting their entrepreneurial spirit.

The combination of skill development for implementing innovations in various contexts and the involvement of established companies creates an optimal environment for all participants. Participants learn to think entrepreneurially and discover, test, and leverage market potentials.

No incubation program is currently being offered. Information on the previous programs for 2023 and 2024 can be found here:
