TREMOR 4 will last for 16 weeks, and will be held from 24 February to 11 June. The programme will be in English, and will consist of weekly or bi-weekly workshop sessions.
Programme Structure
For the 4th edition, the programme will be divided into two phases, bootcamp & specialisation.
During the Bootcamp phase (Weeks 1-4), teams will first spend 4 weeks building entrepreneurial skills in weekly and biweekly joint sessions held with participants of the BIOSPHERE and NEXUS incubators at the University of Helsinki's City Centre campus. In addition to providing core skills and knowledge, these sessions will be an opportunity to connect with other like-minded individuals and teams from other programmes, find potential synergies and explore opportunities provided by the other specialised programmes, and lay the groundwork for the rest of the incubator.
During the specialisation phase (Weeks 5-16), following the initial 4 weeks of joint workshops, teams will first have matchmaking with mentors to ensure that the right people are collaborating. After this, teams will have weekly workshops covering a variety of entrepreneurial topics, work with their mentors, and take part in sessions for co-working & addressing subjects that emerge from the needs of participants and observations of mentors.
Session Information
The programme's sessions on entrepreneurial skills will cover a variety of topics, such as Design Thinking, Lean Canvas, Sales, Marketing, Financial management, Intellectual property rights, Legal advice, Prototyping, Pitching, Funding tools, and more. Please note, that the exact topics, dates, and visiting experts of the sessions are subject change during the programme.
The sessions for co-working will be a great place for participants to spar with each other and help each other grow in a mutually beneficial and supportive environment. The co-working sessions will always be started with a reflective dialogue session to help support this.
The mentor sessions will be arranged on a regular basis with the team's dedicated mentors as well as with rotating mentors who will provide additional expertise based on their special skills such as marketing, technical development, investments, and more. We expect your entire team to meet with your mentor at least twice a month, with sessions lasting from 30 minutes to 1 hour each. The sessions can be held online or in-person depending on the availability of your mentors, and we expect you to be proactive in arranging them at times that are best for you and your mentors.
