Demola Future Expert Launchpad

  • Training

Demola Future Expert Launchpad brings together talent, companies, and the right conditions to turn them into concrete action. FELP combines two essential resources for successful innovation: skilled people and market‑validated potential. Would you like to be part of it?

We do this on the terms of growth.

We don’t talk about what’s being left behind.

We talk about what is emerging

In Demola’s 8‑week FELP program, current and future innovation professionals from different fields work together to develop product and service concepts and demos based on real company needs.

The goal is further development with clear potential, new jobs, or possibly a new business founded around the work. Ownership of the development outcomes is arranged through IPR agreements that benefit all parties.

Best teams will have the opportunity to co-create the results together with leading companies.
 

Why participate?

  • Meaningful work together with highly driven experts
  • New product and service concepts with validated market demand
  • New skills, networks and reference

In Demola, you can focus on what you do best as an experienced or emerging innovation professional: creating new success stories.

Come as an individual or build a team and join together. Demola's promise is this: in Demola, you are not alone. When you are part of a Demola team, your work is continuously coached – not only within the team, but also by Demola’s global experts, partner companies and other teams.
