The pre-acceleration program for business ideas, promoted by Startup Braga and supported by AAUMinho, is once again opening applications, but this time with a new naming and visual identity.

Startup Point, as it is now called, returns with the same purpose as always: to help and support future entrepreneurs in the process of validating and developing their business ideas.

With the support of a network of mentors and leading professionals, the teams will enjoy practical training in the most diverse areas of business development as well as specialized mentoring that will help them not only to understand the viability of their business idea but also guarantee them the guidance they need to structure an action plan to turn the idea into a real and scalable business.  

This is an intensive program that will take place from October, 3rd to 18th at the University of Minho - Gualtar Campus and is accessible to all entrepreneurial minds who have a technological and innovative business idea, preferably related to one of Startup Braga's verticals: digital economy, health technologies, nanotechnology, biotechnology and sustainability. 

Applications are open until September, 24th and can be submitted via the initiative's official website.
