Within each group, you brainstorm ideas for building an MVP (minimum viable product) on top of Emercoin technology and decide upon one MVP per group.
Tuesday to Friday:
Group Hacking:
Working in teams under guidance of Emercoin developers, you are surrounded by the best environment to help you succeed on realizing your MVP. During this period, you strengthen important core concept knowledge and internalise important knowledge that is beneficial for going forward.

Concept formulation of how the applicant wants to integrate Emercoin technology into his or her business. Together with Emercoin team members, participants are being assisted on how they can benefit from integrating Emercoin technology into their business.
The concept will be the underlying roadmap and blueprint for the next upcoming project focused hackathon to help the participants stay focused and work towards a self-imposed goal.
Week 5 - 8: 2nd Hackathon: Project FocusThis is the major part of the Emercoin Incubator.
After having formulated the concept for his or her use case of Emercoin technology, the participant has four weeks to work goal oriented towards his or her concept implementation for Emercoin technology into his or her business model.
During the whole hackathon, the participants benefit from being surrounded by likeminded peers as well as receiving support from Emercoin team members, enabling fast, professional support and guidance when needed.
Each Friday, progress of each project is being presented and discussed in front of the crowd, enabling valuable feedback from peers to ultimately improve the overall results of the hackathon for the applicants.
