Experiment with Fellow Innovators
Trial and error sits at the centre of any entrepreneurial journey. Incubation means that you are given the space to experiment, play, and build. Put your ideas to the test, learn to be comfortable with getting it wrong, and hone the ability to adapt with speed.

Examine Your Assumptions
Reflection is the moment when you step back to gain the advantage of a bigger picture and consider how your approach fits into a wider system. We encourage proactivity alongside consistent reflection about your own and others’ ideas - learning from what works, and from what doesn’t.
