CREA provides coaching, tutoring and mentoring, which takes the students from their ideas, via the identification of market opportunities, to conceptualization and planning and finally to the start-up of a new company. At the end of each summer academy, a qualified jury selects the best ideas. The selected projects’ teams are given the opportunity to pitch it in front of possible investors.

During the first edition in 2015, CREA Summer Academy reached more than 300.000 persons, collected more than 800 connections on the f6s.com platform and 318 finalized applications. There were 134 selected participants, divided in 71 early stage business ideas and in 6 Summer Academies around Europe. 32 business ideas have been evolved, and the best 11 has been selected to pitch at the CREA ICT Business Idea Contest at the ICT 2015 European Commission Event in Lisbon.
The winning teams had the chance to be incubated in one of the business incubators involved in the CREA network to develop their Ideas in a Start Up.
