For the best possible experience and the greatest added value, the innovation bootcamp combines networking sessions between all parties, different workshops on specific topics and coaching sessions between the final teams with the representatives of each Challenge and company as well as innovation coaches from Impact Week, a non-profit program that fosters innovation and entrepreneurship.
The finalists will be invited to join one virtual briefing meeting upfront to the innovation bootcamp, which will take place between 25th and 28th July.

(Virtual) Final event: 16th September 2022
