Innovation Olympics – What?

  1. Real companies set a real-life challenge to students
  2. Students are grouped into 5 teams of 4/5 students (in-group diversity: students come from different disciplines, countries, attitudes, but they share the same enthusiasm!)
  3. Students work intensively on the company challenge (analyze technologies, markets, competitors, discover opportunities, develop business concepts, provide innovative solutions)
  4. The 5 teams of students compete to provide the best solution to the company challenge
  5. Students are mentored by business mentors and interact with company managers
  6. Winners are declared and awarded the “Innovation Master” certification issued by the Global Innovation Management Institute and recognized worldwide
  7. Companies are ready to offer internship opportunities to the most promising students

In the first edition, five internship positions have been offered with the opportunity to implement in the USA the solution developed during the Innovation Olympics!

Innovation Olympics – When?
The fall edition of the Trento Innovation Olympics will run from October 10 to December 19.
The effort required is around 8 hours a week, that each team organizes as they prefer.

The official languages are Italian and English.

The Innovation Olympics is launched in Trento in partnership with the IXL-Center, a Boston based company that already launched successful editions in the USA, Asia and Latin America (watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgTkPRLwVz4)
