The lab
behind it.
URM LAB is the experimentation and innovation environment of URM, connecting entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, technology and business creation.
It exists for one reason: people learn to build companies by building them. The 10-Hour Startup is that idea compressed into a single day.
URM is an institution built around entrepreneurship, creativity, practical education and business — where students learn by creating real ventures.
