Aalto Creatives preincubator
Aalto Creatives is a pre-incubator program supporting students, researchers, and creative industry professionals who have a creative startup concept. The 13-week program fosters the rapid development of ideas into viable startup companies.
Where Creative Ideas Can Flourish
Aalto Creatives supports students, researchers, and practitioners in the creative industries on their path towards entrepreneurship by running a pre-incubator programme twice a year. The programme is led by experts from Aalto Startup Center and Aalto Studios.
Previous business experience is not required of the applicants. The selection process evaluates the business idea’s potential for further development, the need or opportunity that it addresses, and the way it shapes a sustainable future.
The next pre-incubator programme starts in late September 2025. Call for applications closes on 8.9.2025!
