CROSSING THE EQUATOR: 17 TEAMS PRESENT INTERIM RESULTS AT THE STUDIO OF PROJECTS AND STARTUPS

On October 31, Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno hosted the demo day of the intermediate stage of the educational program in innovative entrepreneurship. The event was attended by teams of the acceleration program "From Project to Business" and the program "From Idea to Project", who presented the results achieved since the start of the season.

This demo day became an important intermediate milestone. By this point, participants had already completed training in product design, market analysis, branding, sales, and unit economics. The event allowed teams to objectively assess their progress and look at their startups from the outside.

Each team delivered a three-minute pitch: they spoke about the stages completed, the hypotheses tested, and their plans for the future. After each presentation, experts and trackers of the Studio asked questions and shared feedback. In a live dialogue format, the participants analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of their solutions.

In creating their own startups, the participants have already covered half the journey. Continuing to develop their projects, they will certainly take into account all the comments and recommendations received from the experts.
