A strong business model is more than just a creative idea—it is a functional, repeatable system. Business Model Workshop is an interactive, hands-on strategy session hosted by KIT FORGE at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Designed for students, researchers, and prospective founders, this workshop guides you through a proven structural framework to transform your initial concept into a viable, well-defined business model.
Instead of spending weeks drafting lengthy business plans, you will focus on building, testing, and refining the core pillars of your venture in real time. Through practical exercises and direct feedback, you will map out key customer segments, value propositions, revenue models, and operational requirements—giving you a clear answer to whether and how your idea can succeed in the market.
