Innovate UK ICURe EXPLORE is a 12-week full-time market exploration programme. This programme is aimed at helping research teams from across the UK to explore technology applications and test value propositions through extensive market engagement globally. The ICURe Explore programme is designed using lean start-up methodology and funded by Innovate UK. Lean start-up takes the scientific method (hypothesise, test, evaluate) and applies it to business ideas. Your team will learn how to use this approach to test what your potential customers think about your idea, product, or service.
