iStep 2012

iStep is a 4-day entrepreneurial training program at Masters level with:

• Specific topics important when starting up a company.
• Special attention for applications within the ICT environment.

International experts will guide you through the process of how to get started with the business if you have an idea.

During this several-day training program at Masters level specific topics are studied which are of importance when starting up a company: choosing a business model, creating a business plan, explaining IPR, team building, defining a marketing strategy, drawing up a financial plan etc.

Special attention is also paid to specific aspects of the ICT sector. Among other things, participants learn how to create the link between technology and the market and how technological projects can be developed up to the point when they really can be launched on the market.

Participation to this workshops is free for IBBT researchers, Master students and Bachelor students. External parties and PhD students (non-IBBT related) may participate at a participation fee of € 600 for the full program (four days) or € 200/dag. This cost lapse for participants who already participate in other IBBT programs (iBoot, iStart, Plug & Play, Student entrepreneurship ...) or who's entering into a commitment with IBBT (cf. IBBT other programs).

IBBT offers all interested parties in her community the opportunity to follow this course for free. This training requires not only a financial commitment of IBBT but the coaches as well invest time and energy to make this a high quality training. Therefore it would be nice to those who register for the training to be present so that no seats are lost. If you're absent without good reason, we find ourselves obliged to charge a 50 Euro administrative fee for each registered module. As a formality, we ask your billing information when registering, but we obviously do not charge fees when the training, as agreed, is attended.
