Links the most innovative and creative students to industry facilitating solutions to real world business challenges.
3 days of teamwork, creative thinking and innovation, with students working on business challenges set by our industry partners.
A competition style programme that saw University students compete against a challenge set by industry with a technological theme.
Through general academic study, our students are frequently presented with business challenges that are replicating real world examples faced by industry each day.
Why not give them a real life challenge to work on and enable them to present their research findings and proposals in return. Often delivered across a single 12 week term, industry are invited to pitch their challenge up front, provide contact details during the term should the teams have questions or queries followed with attending a final poster competition where teams present their findings.
Many companies have benefited from the programme and frequently reference the experience as introducing a fresh view point that often the sector has failed to consider.
