join our programs

If you’re looking to get inspired, to develop your entrepreneurial mindset or to bring your startup idea to life, consider joining our extracurricular program! At StartHub we have two main programs. The first is the student entrepreneurship program (STEP) devoted to Wageningen University and Research students.

Our other program is the Wageningen Impact Catalyst (WIC) for more evolved Startups.

Student Entrepreneurship Program (STEP)

If you’re interested in what entrepreneurship is about and what skills are involved,

consider joining the STEP program

During STEP, you will discover a wide variety of tools that support you in becoming a sustainable entrepreneur. How to start? What makes an idea a good one? Who is your customer and how to define it? How to make an impact with your idea? Join our Ideation workshop series to start developing your entrepreneurial skills.

Information on applying for the STEP:

  • It’s a series of workshops; you have to follow every session (7 sessions)

  • You have to be or become a StartHub member to join the Ideation program

Good to know: StartHub Wageningen provides the coaching and supportive environment you need to start developing your ideas and skills. This doesn’t mean it is involved in your idea, start-up or IP.

STEP generally takes place in Autumn and Spring every year. Follow our socials to register or email us at studentoffice.starthub@wur.nl


Wageningen Impact Catalyst (WIC)

If you have a startup idea you really want to pursue,

consider joining the WIC program

You can apply when you have a clear business idea or already have a business that you want to take to the next level. This is a full-time, 16-month program.

Information on applying for the WIC:

Please schedule an intake with Gitte Schober, the course coordinator.
