Teams, that were composed by four students from different countries, faced the other teams. This team building was set up to help participants know each other better and be more effective together.
The Quests : Every innovation quest was conducted by six teams in competition with each other. After a presentation of the company, the market and the problem, the teams had a day to develop an innovative solution to these problems.
