What’s next_Project is the Z-Kubator’s incubator programme for entrepreneurial projects developed by graduates of Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). Over the course of twelve months, the programme supports innovative projects with a pioneering spirit. Projects that originated during studies or research, and that show clear potential to be further developed with an entrepreneurial strategy. The programme is supported by Zürcher Kantonalbank.
At the beginning of each programme year, we introduce the newly selected cohort and reflect on the progress, insights and developments of the previous participants of 2025.
We warmly invite you to join us online to see the presentations of both What’s next_Project cohort 2025 and 2026. Presentations will be held in German or English.
