Turku University Teacher Training School
Concentration Inc.
In the wake of a successful Eduhack series, a novel initiative was born to nurture the seeds of innovation planted during the hackathon.
This initiative, a pilot incubator programme,
was meticulously designed to support young
entrepreneurial talents in transitioning from
hackathon victors to startup visionaries.
Team Concentration Inc., a group of five upper
secondary students from Turku Teacher
Training School, emerged as the epitome of
this transformative journey, embodying the
spirit of young innovation and team synergy.
At the core of the incubator
programme was a structured
approach to team development
and product innovation.
The participating teams, including Team Concentration Inc., engaged in a rigorous schedule of 3-hour coaching sessions every three weeks.
These sessions were more than
just meetings; they were crucibles
of growth,
designed to refine the
team's understanding of
product development tools
and strategies.
Between sessions,
the challenge was to venture
into the real world, conducting
bold experiments with potential
customers, thereby bridging
the gap between theoretical
concepts and practical
application.
A unique aspect of the programme was
its ability to weave the participants into
the fabric of the local startup ecosystem.
For Team Concentration Inc., the journey took an exciting turn as they were awarded tickets to the SHIFT Business Festival.
This opportunity was more than just
a prize; it was a gateway to the real-life startup world, offering the team
invaluable insights into the
latest trends in technology
and business.
Situated in an international boarding
school setting, the IEE programme
immerses students in a richly diverse
environment that fosters learning not
just through textbooks, but through real-
world experiences and interactions.
This setting is pivotal in teaching that learning transcends age; it is driven by passion and interest.
The curriculum is thoughtfully
designed to take students through
a series of processes that transform
ideas into tangible realities.
Over the course of one year, participants
engage deeply with the core tenets
of entrepreneurship, including design
thinking, prototyping, teamwork,
and business fundamentals.
This comprehensive approach ensures that students not only dream up innovative ideas but also possess the practical skills to bring these ideas to life.
The festival also
served as a fertile ground for developing networking and pitching skills, as well as for garnering feedback from seasoned entrepreneurs.
Through their engagement in the
incubator programme, Team
Concentration Inc. experienced
profound growth both as a team
and on an individual level.
The programme facilitated a deeper understanding among team members, allowing them to appreciate each other's perspectives, abilities, and skills in a collaborative product development context.
This journey
was not without its challenges,
but it instilled in them a greater
perseverance to withstand
stressful and difficult times.
Moreover, the programme significantly
enhanced their networking prowess,
empowering them
to establish connections with
companies and organisations
that could play a crucial role in
their future endeavours.
On a personal note, the
experience prompted the
young students to reflect on
their career aspirations, with
entrepreneurship emerging as
an increasingly attractive path.
The incubator programme for young entrepreneurs,
exemplified by the journey
of Team Concentration Inc.,
stands as a testament to the
power of continued innovation
and team development
post-hackathon.
By providing a structured environment
for growth, access to the startup ecosystem, and opportunities for personal development,
the programme not only nurtures future business leaders but also ensures that the spark of innovation ignited during the Eduhack series continues to burn brightly in the hearts of young innovators.
As Team Concentration Inc. and their peers venture forward, they carry with them the tools, connections, and resilience necessary to transform their ideas into impactful realities.
