Hello,

we would like to inform you about the relaunch of the YESlab educational program, which follows on from a very successful pilot year. The program is intended for full-time students of all levels of study (bachelor, engineering, master and doctoral) at TUKE, UPJŠ and UVLF universities who have an original idea and want to develop it into a startup.

The program participants will be guided by experts in practice during several phases - from defining the problem (Design Thinking, Jobs To Be Done), through idea validation, creating MVP (product designs, UX, software prototypes), to testing with users, building a brand and working with intellectual property.

The program will run from March 1 to the end of April and will include a kick-off, a series of workshops, mentoring, networking and a final presentation of the projects in front of a professional jury. Selected teams can receive financial support of up to EUR 5,000 after meeting the set milestones.

Registration of student teams is open until 17. 2. 2026.
