What is Startup 024 about?

Startup024 is a one-day hackathon in which several student teams will try to solve social challenges about the wellbeing of students. A hackathon is a working method in which groups of students develop a solution to a problem during a defined period of time. At the end of the day the solutions are presented in a plenary session and feedback is provided by the groups and/or the problem holder.

What can I expect?

Join us for a day of innovation and impact! During Startup024 you’ll work with your team on one of the social challenges and try to create a solution for the challenge. Expect intense brainstorming, expert feedback, networking opportunities, meeting new people and a lot of fun. Furthermore a team of experts in entrepreneurship and innovation will help you to make your idea become reality. The first place receives 1500 €, which they can use for the development of their idea and/or investment in their team. Don’t miss your chance to make a difference!
