In general, during the pre-phase and the kick-off workshop in Munich you will be placed in an international team of four or five people, composed of Israelis, Emirates and Germans. Each team will be working on a challenge of one of our company partners. A mentor from the company will be your go-to person for questions and guidance, and one German and one Israeli BIPA coach will be assigned for each team to help you along the way.
You will be required to develop an innovative solution to the company’s challenge, research, offer solutions, achieve progress, and present deliverables on every milestone until the final presentation to the company (December 2023).

BIPA offers you a unique opportunity to experience first hand what it’s like working in open innovation processes by offering innovative solutions to leading companies and businesses. Check out some testimonials here.
Moreover, you will get a rare chance to experience how it’s like to work with people from a different culture, receive mentoring from professional, experienced mentors, and enlarge your network (professional and personal).

The program is meant for participants who are university students or up to five years after their last degree and already working. Just take into consideration that you need to be available for the pre-phase, the virtual kick-off workshop, the mandatory meetings during the acceleration phase, and for the final event in December.

The answer is divided into three parts according two the four phases of the program:

Part I is an online phase between October 1st and October 15th, where we will get you excited about the program and take care of some organisational points. Most tasks you can do on your own time, only a couple online meetings will me mandatory at a certain date and time. Part II is a mandatory fun and intensive in person workshop which will take place from October 16th to 20th 2023.
After that comes Part III which is a 8-week acceleration phase. During that time we estimate that you will spend around 6 to 10 hours per week working on your team challenge.

Part IV is the concluding workshop which will take place from December 14th to 18th 2023. The first part will happen in Abu Dhabi, the second one in Israel. It includes the final presentations to the company partners as well as our celebration of a successful BIPA 2023.
