KTH Innovation hires entrepreneurial students

KTH Innovation arranges Summer of Innovation 2012, a summer program where entrepreneurial students are matched with commercial ideas from KTH researchers.

What is it?

Teams of 1-2 students will spend at least 6 weeks on a researched based project with the objective to commercially advance the idea. KTH Innovation will reimburse them an amount equal to the student loans and grants (SEK 8920 per month).

Between 5 and 10 projects will be selected and, depending on the need of each project, between 5 and 15 students. 

Who should apply?

We are looking for students who demonstrate excellent communication skills, technical understanding, commercial sense and interest in entrepreneurship.

What kind of work will I do?

The typical project will include searching for, proposing or verifying the commercial potential of a high-tech idea typically in an early stage of commercialization. Specific tasks might be market overviews, customer contacts, mapping of surrounding technology/competition and prototyping.

Why should I participate?

  • Engage in concrete, innovative and commercially interesting projects based on cutting edge KTH research
  • Add  entrepreneurial experience to your CV
  • Learn more about the innovation process at KTH and the support you have access to when you get an interesting business idea of your own

How should I apply?

The applicion deadline has passed and the recruited students have now started working on the projects.
