The FAU – Digital Tech Academy welcomes you together with the Nürnberg Digital Festival to the Business Design Toolbox Conference in Erlangen on Thursday, 18th of July.
Get Started with your Idea
We will provide you with a thorough overview of easy to use and simple to set up IT-Tools, which support you in the process of realizing your innovative idea, also within your company. Take the chance and learn about well-proven and commonly used IT-Tools for different scenarios such as prototyping e.g. developing App Mock-ups, user interfaces, quick implementation and rapid validation of ideas. The range of presented tools is selected to where no in-depth IT background is needed and you are ready to go within minutes.
We will speak about tools for team organization & collaboration, various ways to do market research, soft- and hardware prototyping tools, databases and platforms, web and mobile app development application as well as tools and platforms to do your daily business & marketing. Hence, there is something for everyone, no matter if you are a student, who is trying to get organized, or a (potential) startup looking for affordable and fast ways to create prototypes and validate them, maybe even an innovation department that is always looking for new ways and tools to promote their innovative ideas or just a digitization enthusiast that wants to stay up to date with the latest tools and trends. Join us for a full day of technology.

Business Design in a Nutshell
The business design process helps you structure innovation projects when faced with extreme uncertainty, no matter whether you are about to develop a new business model, service or software application or transform an existing one.
Short innovation cycles of around 10 weeks ensure that learning is integrated and complexity is reduced wherever possible. The business design process is thorough but flexible to cater for the needs of each individual customer. It integrates five stages per iteration and guides the project teams through the innovative journey step by step:
Definition of a project focus, assembly of a project team and a support of a Sponsor.
In order to understand the holistic impact of the project, eight discovery areas are being researched, e.g. to understand the world of a potential client.
Using these insights, new business ideas are developed, prioritized and drafted into a business model.
In order to validate our business model, we formulate hypotheses, experiment with them and create a lean version (including the prototype) of our future offering.
The results of our validation are analyzed and integrated into the business model. The next steps are decided on with the sponsor.
