Connect with innovators across DTU and find the resources, facilities, funding, and support you need to move your idea forward.
Early Engagement
You have an idea, a research result or simply a feeling that something could be done better.
Nothing needs to be defined yet. This stage is about learning how innovation works, spotting challenges that matter and meeting others who want to build things too.

You have a problem or an idea you can't stop thinking about.
The solution doesn't have to be clear yet. This stage is about understanding who has the problem, exploring different ways to solve it and shaping your idea into something worth testing.

You have a concept and a first sense of who it is for.
