Kaleidoskoop is the last event in the autumn semester’s program and Idealab is now ready to prepare for spring 2018. Right before Estonia’s 100th birthday, on February 22th, an inspiration event called „Idea Storm: 100 ideas, that will change the world“ is once again held. Dozens of experienced mentors are expected to join close to 300 participants to discuss finding solutions to problematic situations in many areas. The groups created, along with their ideas, are given the chance to grow through the STARTER Basic program in spring.  

For students, Idealab is hosting the Student Startup Camp in collaboration with Garage48. The camp will be held during the winter break in early February and has previously brought over 100 students together, all with the goal to develop an idea to a prototype in just five days.


We are so proud of you and hope to see all of you at sTARTUp Day!

Thank you judges for all of your time and your great comments!

Thank you STARTER Advanced teams for your energy!

Thank you all for being brave enough to pitch your idea!


New year with new ideas! Join us at Idea Storm, 100 ideas that will change the world - inspiration event on Feb 22, 2018.
