The universities of Delft, Eindhoven, Twente and Wageningen have joined one another in setting up innovation competitions. These annual or biennial competitions or contests are ultimate challenges for students to actively explore their ingenuity, creativity and intelligence, to stimulate out-of-the-box thinking and to combine all this with a smart sense of business. Business plans, prototypes and real-life cases are developed, tested, analysed and judged, and the best of these ideas are awarded with funding and guidance.
The innovation competitions are initiated in collaboration with innovative business partners that have proven experience in finding inventive solutions to technological issues. V.O. enthusiastically supports such initiatives and participates by improving IP awareness and providing IP advice and services. Activate your ideas!
