STARTER CLASS
The Starter Class is for anyone who has an innovative project, regardless of what stage it currently is at.
It is a comprehensive training course of 2 days per week for 3 months, which will allow you to test and confirm your project, develop entrepreneurial skills, and design the coaching program that you’ll follow with a SEMIA business manager over the next 18 months.
ALSACE BOOSTER
Alsace Booster is a program based on the Lean Startup method.
This course is divided into 5 large modules including the two core modules which teach you how to develop a project whilst remaining in constant contact with its market.
The modules are spread over 17 training days, with the goal of taking a project step by step from its first users to its first revenue.
SPRINGBOARD
The ‘Springboard’ program will help you bring your innovative product or service to market.
Experts will advise you in how to define solid marketing and sales strategy, giving you the tools you need to find new customers.
At the end of program, you will have real experience in the field negotiating with leads.

what is it?
SOON!
Alsace needed a digital hub, and so KMØ was born! Different organisations in the region (including Rhénatic, an Alsace business association) came together to develop the local digital economy.
It’s essential to gather together to express your ideas and be heard. The KMØ represents a real opportunity to develop projects, startups and companies.
community support
The SEMIA community is composed to alumni, patrons, experts, volunteers, academic resources, public actors (BPI, the Région Grand Est, Alsace Innovation…) This community is engaged and accessible to help your project succeed.
