Put your skills to the test
What is an Idea Challenge?
An idea challenge is a focused form of innovation that encourages creative solutions to a particular problem or area of improvement. Your mission is to use your business skills, creativity and critical thinking to solve a challenge set by us. You’ll be assigned to a team and by the end of the afternoon, you’ll present a short video pitch and show us how you’d solve the challenge. It’s the perfect way to get to know your fellow E-Lab students, apply your own creativity to solutions, and see first-hand how innovation and entrepreneurship work together.
And as an extra incentive, we’ll be awarding prizes for the best idea and best pitch!
