Think inside the box.

InCube is an international competition where students live and work for four days in a glass cube. They need to define the problem they want to tackle, ideate for solutions, and create a prototype. At the final event, the different teams, based in Zurich, Lausanne, Boston, Singapore, compete in a pitch battle in front of a live audience and jury.

Students come out of InCube with a rich set of tools for an entrepreneurial journey, with a sense of how to come up with a business proposal in a very short amount of time, and how to progress their ideas. InCube is both inspirational and educational because it provides a transparent environment where the public can witness how innovation happens.

How it works

1. StarterCube: Participants receive a box with goodies related to their challenge in the cube.
2. OutCube: The pre-event in a Swiss mountain resort. Workshops prepare the participants for InCube and they will also work on team building.
3. InCube: Four days of the challenge in a glass cube. Experts and academic partners provide some guidance on the way to a solution, while everything is visible for the public.
4. Startup Concept: After the event, incentives are created to motivate the continuation of the project into a business idea.
