Are you ready for a day full of challenges and innovative business? On the 14th and 15th of May you will work in a creathon together with companies within the Koolen Industries network on their challenges.
In a creathon (a hackathon on creativity) you work in your team one day together on a challenge from a company to come up with an innovative business idea or concept. For example, think of inventing new products or services. The yield of each team is a developed business idea, which you will pitch as a team to the challenge providers and a jury.
The start of the creathon is a problem or ambition based context provided by organisations. Within these context there lies an opportunity. You as future entrepreneurs will seize this opportunity. On this day you will be supported by the challenge providers and lecturers. We will reach out to the lean start up method on this day. On the 15th of May you will work on the actual challenge provided by companies within the Koolen Industries network. At the end of the day you will have a business idea that you will pitch. The winning teams gets €1.000,- and the runner up € 500.,-
Note that the event is free and that all costs are covered!
