Our Build programs are designed for tech innovators who are ready to actively turn their ideas and technologies into scalable products and business ventures. Participants should have a first business idea or concept they want to develop further, or they can join other participants in building their ideas. The programs focus on achieving a problem-solution fit, ensuring that your product addresses real-world challenges effectively.

Participants will build prototypes of their products and validate them with real customers and markets, all while learning how to create products that excel in technology, user experience, and customer value. Using an experience-based approach, the core learning happens through hands-on building. Additionally, you'll gain essential skills in storytelling and pitching, business idea development, and market validation. Open to students, researchers, and aspiring entrepreneurs from HPI and beyond, participants in our programs focus on turning their ideas into impactful, scalable products.
