Successful Innovation Tribe with 60 students at C the Future 2024

On Friday, Oct. 4, Techport hosted a hashtag#Innovation Tribe as a tryout where 60 students got to work on six concrete challenges from six companies: HomeZero, Triply, Z-Bridge BV, Watermelon Ecosystem, Aeroborn and ZTI smart machines. The tribe was part of the C-the Future business day at 3DMZ | 3D Makers Zone in Haarlem. The group of participating students consisted of a mix of MBO students from Nova College and HBO students from Hogeschool Inholland and Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. Together they worked on the various assignments.
Afterwards, the six pitching companies were unanimously enthusiastic about the solutions provided. Thus, the various ideas will be further developed into teaching packages and perhaps internship assignments and follow-up research will follow.
The enthusiasm of all participants afterwards indicates the need for a sequel. For Techport it was in any case useful to work together with the courses mentioned with more depth, structure and fun. Worth repeating! This innovation tribe was part of the JTF program Techport Green Incubator.
