Selected teams have the opportunity to test the feasibility of their idea in the prototyping phase and make it ready for the market.
After completing the incubator programme, a team can qualify for a start-up grant of €50,000, which serves as financial start-up aid in the first year.
The incubator programme was launched for the first time in October 2023 with ten teams. A new round will start in October 2024, for which applications can be submitted via the Körber Start Hub website between 1 June 2024 and 31 July 2024.
