Hydra Startup Lab is Exosphere’s 7th program, it is the place where technology and entrepreneurship meet in a multidisciplinary environment to bring people close to emerging technologies and its applications, fostering innovation and new ideas.
During the program problem-solvers from around the world learn by working next to global experts in emerging technologies (3D printing, Biohacking, Drones, Robotics, VR, etc.) and experienced entrepreneurs (specialized in communication, design thinking, sales, design, business development, etc.) to find these solutions and build businesses.
Some of the mentors will be:
ARTEM LITVINOVICH

Exosphere believes that entrepreneurship is the force that will drive us into the future. But for this to happen,
1) Everybody needs to think and focus on bigger problems than the ones we are currently targeting and
2) We need to learn how to build sustainable businesses by applying emerging technology to be an integral part of this future.
The best way to solve problems with technology is not merely having technical people working on them, but through a collaborative environment of different disciplines (and cultures!) working together. You not only need the technically skilled, but also who can communicate, market, design, and manage the limited resources available!
