Ideation

HSG Entrepreneurship offers services designed to support entrepreneurs at various stages of their startup journey. This includes coaching sessions with personalized guidance, general discussions, and validity checks in the ideation stage and along the start-up journey; female mentoring designed to support and empower female entrepreneurs; and the Founding Guide, which provides essential resources and step-by-step instructions for aspiring entrepreneurs looking to establish their own startups.

What we offer in the ideation phase

Ideation events are used to identify entrepreneurial talent at HSG at an early stage and develop creative ideas for solving current practical challenges. For example, events such as Co-Creation Days and Ideation Weeks are held with external and internal partners. The annual Ideation Week at the HSG School of Medicine is very popular and regularly serves as a source of promising projects for the incubation phase. The Co-Creation Day in cooperation with UBS is also a breeding ground for exciting ideas, some of which were further developed in the course of the Journey with HSG Entrepreneurship.
