How it works
The initial stages of the program (Ground 0 and Launch stage) are open to anyone with an innovative idea and the grit to work on its development. We support innovators by Digital incubation, facilitated by an eLearning platform. This digitalised process has strong educational emphasis by providing courses to learn from specialists about different aspects of creating and running a startup. Each team will be able to have a consultation with the course creator. There are also regular live events, networking sessions and training sessions on essential topics.
The next stages are open for registered startups working on their own R&D and take place on-site or in hybrid format, so startups can collaborate with any of the 11 high-tech laboratories, the Discoverer Supercomputer, Sofia Creation Station Makerspace, ClubHouse and use the additional facilities. Participants take part in demo sessions, workshops and networking events, allowing the startups to pitch to investors and form partnerships.
During the SEEIP entrepreneurship journey you will meet like-minded people and go through the startup development stages with the support of Sofia Tech Park. The goal of our program is to give founders the skills and support to start and run a business – you are at the centre of the learning process. The program provides different services through every stage – from idea, through MVP, fundraising and international market access.
Digital Incubation
SEEIP creates an ecosystem that supports, nurtures and develops initial research ideas into successful startups and helps them grow in international markets.
Each module is divided into different topics and lessons with industry specialists as teachers. The online lessons are in video format and can be accessed from a PC or mobile device. At the end of each topic there is a test, an assignment and the opportunity to speak directly with the teacher on specific questions related to your startup.
In addition, the hybrid format of the program will introduce you to exciting new people at the in-person events.
