Does Your Solution Really Fit the Problem?
At our 5th Innovation Bootcamp, everything revolves around Product Validation & Problem Solution Fit.
Do you have a start-up idea and want to find out whether your solution truly fits the problem and whether it has the potential to become something big?
In a hands-on format, you will work on your idea, challenge key assumptions and receive direct feedback from experienced experts from the start-up and innovation ecosystem.
For everyone who doesn’t just want to build a product, but wants to build a solution people are actually waiting for.
🎯 Goal of the Bootcamp
Many start-ups begin with a strong idea — but the crucial question is:
Does this idea really solve a problem that is relevant enough for the target group?
This is exactly where the Innovation Bootcamp comes in.
You will learn how to critically question your idea, assess your Problem Solution Fit and develop your solution further in a targeted way. This is not about theory, but about practical work on your own start-up idea.
At the end of the day, you will pitch your idea in front of invited experts and receive direct feedback, new perspectives and concrete impulses for your next steps.
🚀 What to Expect

You will get a compact introduction to product validation and learn what really matters when a solution is supposed to fit a real problem.
🛠️ Hands-on Working Session on Your Idea
You will work directly on your own concept, your target group, your assumptions and the question of how well your solution fits the actual problem.
🎤 Pitch in Front of Experts
At the end, you will present your idea to selected experts and receive honest, direct feedback.
💬 Concrete Feedback for Your Next Step
You will find out where your idea is already strong, where it still needs sharpening and which next steps make sense.

💡 Why Problem Solution Fit Matters
Especially in the early stages of starting a business, it is crucial not to jump into implementation too quickly.
Before a product is built, marketed or scaled, it should be clear:
Is there a real problem?
Is the target group truly affected by it?
Is your solution relevant enough?
And does your idea fit what the market actually needs?
The Innovation Bootcamp helps you answer these questions in a structured way and further develop your idea with a clear focus.
