ITU Innovators is a startup catalyst, working as a non-profit organization. The organization is founded and run by students only (founded in 2011). Until now, ITU Innovators has been a support structure for startups to reach out to. As of August 2015 the organization takes a new form in cooperation with Venture Cup and ITU Business Development. Together, these three partners form a value chain; making the development of student startups a value creating process.
