Innovative Tuesday – RWTH Business School

An Interactive Innovation Talk

„Innovative Tuesday“ is a networking format between the local economy, researchers and students in the field of innovation. On a Tuesday evening a month we welcome all those interested in innovation and innovation management at the INC Invention Center at the RWTH Aachen Campus. We are looking for exciting discussions with speakers from business and science as well as other participants from the region of Aachen on various aspects of the topic of technology and innovation management. All events will be held in English to promote the exchange even beyond the national border and involve the international students of RWTH Aachen University.

Founded in 2016 RWTH Business School provides management education for executives and young professionals.

The IHK Aachen is a public corporation and represents the interests of around 76,000 member companies from industry, commerce and services.

Minimum Viable Compay: The path from prototype to profitable company

WhatAVenture has accompanied more than 3000 innovation projects of companies in the last years (e.g. with intrapreneurship programs, as well as with start-up factories etc) and has built up three companies itself (Woodspace, Gleam, Pixofarm). Both founders and start-ups in the corporate world are doing very well up to the point of MVP and into the first investment round (Seeding Stage). However, the next important step happens afterwards and determines the success of a start-up and whether it finds a place in the ecosystem of the market. Franziska Korn will do a deep dive into the transition phase between MVP and business model scaling focusing on the challenges that startups face and the issues they need to address at this stage (from supply chain management to team staffing).
