Z-Kubator Handover Event

What’s next_Project is the Z-Kubator’s incubator programme for entrepreneurial projects developed by ZHdK graduates. Over the course of twelve months, the programme supports innovative projects with a pioneering spirit. At the beginning of each programme year, we introduce the newly selected cohort and reflect on the progress, insights and developments of the previous participants of 2025.

We warmly invite you to join us online to see the presentations of both What’s next_Project cohorts 2025 and 2026. Presentations will be held in German or English.
