Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this Innovation Bootcamp unique?

The Talent Institute is part of the innovation ecosystem We Empower Innovators, together with Startupbootcamp, Europe’s most well-known startup accelerator, and Innoleaps, a worldwide corporate innovation accelerator. Over the past years, the three companies together have built a network of innovation, industry and entrepreneurial experts that is unmatched. This network gives The Talent Institute a unique position as a talent development institution. The Talent Institute is an innovation and digital talent accelerator. With the Growth Hacking Traineeship, we train graduates to become Growth Hackers and to kickstart their career in the field of Digital and Experimental Marketing. Over 350 young professionals and companies have participated in our program with many more to come! During the Young Digital Innovator Program, we assist corporate companies by placing a Growth Hacker or Innovator in their innovation team to guide them through the innovation process. Over the past few years, TTI has worked with many and diverse (international) companies. The need to keep developing yourself as an employee (with often very limited time) within the innovative field of Growth Hacking has become more and more apparent for the companies that we work with.

The Growth Hacking Bootcamp by The Talent Institute is the right choice because we have years of experience, we can draw from a never-ending supply of expert knowledge and experience and we have proven this year after year.
