Summary

The ‘NEXT’ Innovation App supports a single learner through an innovation accelerator program following a Lean Launchpad based methodology. Students will be provided with feedback from the program coordinator as they progress through the innovation journey.

The goal is for the learner to develop and pitch a viable, high potential innovation concept to an ‘investment’ panel. They are expected to demonstrate the desirability, feasibility and viability of their concept with a digital or physical prototype and evidence of research & customer discovery. The program is generic and designed to be useful for startup, business or public good innovations across a range of problems and industries.

In this program, there is no ability for individuals to collaborate with other individuals in the program other than the coordinator.
