This year's Innovation Sprint is in the starting blocks! Participating companies will be given the opportunity to have their problems tackled creatively and innovatively by an interdisciplinary group of students. Openness, commitment and cooperation are required from all participants.

The aim of the Innovation Sprint is to produce an intensive, creative output on real business problems within 48 hours. Participants from the fields of management, design and technology are supported as a team by experienced coaches in the development of new ideas.

In this context, the key factors in the development of an idea are the innovative character, the intended problem solution, the concept development and the realization potential. The focus here is on a hands-on mentality, as the Innovation Sprint offers the opportunity to apply the specialist knowledge acquired during the course in an inspiring setting.

After the two days, each team presents its elaborated idea for the chosen entrepreneurial problem and its possible implementation. A jury will award a prize to the winning team.
