The Brighter Program takes off
The ten first teams in the KTH Innovation Brighter Program are getting ready to leave Sweden, for an intense week overseas. Come along!
The KTH Innovation Brighter program is an immersion, inspiration and internationalization program, aimed for early stage startup projects or research commercialization projects that have the potential of reaching a global market.
The teams have spent weeks in preparation in Stockholm. Now, it's time to leave for their chosen global innovation hub, and get early contact with the global market.
On Monday, the program begins in New York and Boston simultaneously. Five teams travel to New York, and five to Boston, for an intensive week of meetings, networking and inspiration. In a few weeks, four other teams will travel to Munich.
The New York teams will get tips on concept and packaging for the US market, communication strategies, and legal issues. We’ll visit Spotify and Era, meet with local alumni, business angels, and local venture capital firms. There will be a pitch night, and the teams will also hold individual meetings.
The Boston teams will have a pitch night, get tips on selling medtech, establishing themselves in the US, visit MIT, Harvard and local accelerators, meet alumni from Boston.
