The CPI at University of Applied Sciences St. Pölten

The Creative Pre-Incubator program was developed and launched in partnership with University of Applied Sciences St. Pölten. A first in Austria, our program has successfully helped selected students, alumni and employees develop their business ideas since 2014.

During the Creative Pre-Incubator program, participants learn how their idea can be transformed into a successful company. Every year, we support up to five teams selected by an independent expert jury with personal coaching sessions, workshops, networking and much more during their time in the CPI program. Participants in the CPI program are welcome to use the co-working space in the business and innovation centre across the road from the university free of charge.
