Develop

There are many hurdles on the journey from challenge to solution. The InnoDays allow companies and participants to get started and make progress quickly.

Solutions

Benefiting companies and participants

Pushing the limits

Its amazing to experience that students with totally different backgrounds can push their limits together. Starting off with a raw idea and being able to push this idea all the way to a working prototype in only 48 hours, is an experience that is not only fun, but also teaches you what it means to actively shape our future.
