What is the IDEA Factory Program?

The program is open to students in their 3rd semester or beyond, forming interdisciplinary teams based on their entrepreneurial competencies. Over the course of seven days within a two-week period, participants gain hands-on experience in business planning, market research, pitching, and more. Participants can explore opportunities across any field, while this year’s program also invites them to develop solutions that can enhance the tourist experience in Athens. At the end of the program, teams present their final ideas in a pitching event, where a scientific committee provides feedback and validation.
