  • Pre-IPathion where IP is prepared and students undergoes some fundamental entrepreneurial training
  • The IPathon itself (generally a 2,5 day process)
  • The post IPathon incubator where the successful teams are supported in bringing the venture to life and perhaps even resulting in a spin-off or at least licensing opportunity.
