Goals: <\/strong>Business Ideas Acceleration Programmes are designed to support PhD students eager to turn their innovative research into a viable, market-ready business. Academia is full of ground-breaking discoveries, but the real challenge often lies in transforming those discoveries into something that can make an impact outside of the lab. These acceleration programs bridge that gap by providing mentorship, resources, and structured support to help you commercialize your research, launch a startup, or explore the entrepreneurial landscape. Whether your goal is to bring a product to market or develop a service based on your research, these programs equip you with the tools to turn your academic passion into a thriving business.<\/p>\n

Rules: <\/strong>A group of PhD students will deliver a\u202ffive-minute pitch, presenting an innovative research proposal. The pitch should introduce the research-based product, process, or service, explain its innovation, and outline the execution plan. All this must be effectively communicated within the five-minute timeframe.<\/p>\n

Eligibility:<\/strong> Teams must consist of 1-3 PhD students enrolled in FEUP Doctoral Programmes<\/p>\n

Date:<\/b> Please submit your application via the following link <\/a>by May 30th<\/sup>. Up to seven 5-minute pitches will be selected for presentation at DCE25.<\/p>\n

Evaluation:<\/strong> The jury is composed of experts from both academia and society:<\/p>\n
