ITK Startup Camp

ITK was finally able to carry out Startup Camp activities for 100 ITK students. For two days being trained by a mentor who is an expert in the startup field, the participants are challenged to be able to build a start-up company within 48 hours. Diniar Mungil Kurniawati as Head of the ITK Technology Business Incubator Center said that the target of the ITK startup camp activity is to get new startup seeds born from ITK that can dominate the market later. The output of this activity is the birth of a new startup that can be incubated by the ITK Technology Business Incubator. The activity was held for 2 days on 19 and 20 August 2022. During the 2 days of training, participants were given a strategy to build a startup with a strong foundation, firstly, participants were trained to have a team with an ideal composition such as hustler or marketing & business, hipster or design & user experience and hacker or engineer & developer. Startups that are formed are not only digital but also all forms of startups. Registration of participants is not focused on those who already have a team, but individuals who want to build a startup can also take part in this activity and match ideas with other individuals during the activity. On the second day, the entire team pitched to the jury so that the jury could determine the startup's current position. The winning startups that can be applied will then be further fostered by the ITK business incubator by conducting pre-incubation. Meanwhile, startups that still need idea validation and market penetration power will be guided by a student entrepreneurship team in order to participate in entrepreneurial competitions from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology or other institutions.
