Incubate X 2026

​IncubateX Kickoff: From Class Project to Real Startup

​Got an idea from a class project that deserves more than just a grade? IncubateX is designed to help you take that idea into the real world.

​Join us for the official kickoff where you’ll learn how to turn your concept into something tangible—test it with real users, build a working prototype, and prepare to showcase it at the Innovation Festival.

​What to expect:
• Overview of the IncubateX program
• How to validate your idea with real customers
• Path to building your first prototype
• Access to makers lab, digital tools, and mentorship
• Direct access to mentors for guidance and feedback
• Funding opportunities and next steps

​This is built for students who want to move beyond theory and actually create.

​Event Details:
Date: April 9, 2026
Time: 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM
Location: Entrepreneurship Hub, CORE Building, CSUEB

​If you’ve been thinking about building something—this is where you start.
