About Incubation Program
The centre's core incubation track, described as five phases: ideation and validation, prototype development, business strategy, market access and growth, and scale and sustainability. No fixed length is published, so ask about the commitment when you apply.
What you get

- Infrastructure — the labs, the makerspace and workspace on campus
- Marketing, legal support and networking
How selection works: you submit an online application, the team runs an initial expert evaluation, you present to a committee, there is a detailed review and feedback round, and then onboarding into the programme.
How to apply: through the incubation application form on the centre's site. If you are not sure whether incubation or pre-incubation fits, the site's pitch form lets you describe your stage and be routed.
