Join the Relaunch of the VP UK Incubator: From Idea to Business
Come and see what’s changing and what the VP UK Incubator is preparing. We’ll introduce the incubator’s new programs and show how we can help you move your idea into practice. You can also look forward to a discussion with practitioners, plus time for Q&A and networking.
Do you want to find out how to move an idea meaningfully toward a business? Join the VP UK Incubator event From Idea to Business, where we’ll present what the incubator offers, how our programs work, and what’s coming in the next few months. There will also be a panel discussion with entrepreneurs who have been through the journey “from an idea to a real business,” as well as space for questions and networking.
The event is held under the auspices of the Rector of Comenius University Bratislava, prof. JUDr. Marek Števček, DrSc. The event will be held in Slovak.

For all Comenius University students, graduates, staff, and researchers and anyone interested in:
- Clarifying whether their idea has potential,
- Learning how to validate an idea in practice and take it further,
- Meeting people from a similar community and building collaborations.
What will you take away?
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of:
- How the VP UK Incubator can help you, and what our services and programs actually mean,
- What the path from idea to business looks like in reality without sugarcoating, including what can go wrong,
- What you can learn from companies that started as startups: what helped them most, what mistakes they made, and what’s worth focusing on early.
Program
At the event, we’ll introduce what’s new at the VP UK Incubator and how we can help you move your idea into practice. You’ll learn how our programs work, what support options we’re preparing, and what will be open in the coming months for Comenius University students, graduates, and staff.
The event will also include a brief introduction to the ENLIGHT FutureFounders initiative. The main highlight will be a panel discussion with guests from practice Tomáš Szemes (Geneton), Marcel Šúri (Solargis) and Pavel Čekan (Multiplex DX), who will speak openly about how they started, what helped them, what mistakes they made, and what is worth focusing on at the beginning.
We’ll finish with Q&A and networking, so you take away not only information, but also new contacts and inspiration.
