LaunchX Summer Accelerator

LaunchX is a summer startup accelerator organized by Oulu Entrepreneurship Society (OuluES), built exactly for this purpose: to move ideas from thoughts into practice.

LaunchX is aimed at student teams who want to develop their idea and launch it to the next level. It is not about planning. It is about building, testing, and iterating at a fast pace. The focus is on validating your idea, creating a working solution, and developing your business with real customers and customer feedback.

During the accelerator, you’ll receive support from experienced mentors and industry experts who help you to make the right decisions. At the same time, you’ll become part of an environment where you meet other ambitious teams, investors, and ecosystem players.

LaunchX is your fastest way to take the next step and move from idea to a real product, and to test whether you have what it takes to build the next unicorn.
