A student team working together at laptops

Our Team

The people behind it

A student initiative at the Technical University of Munich. We connect multidisciplinary talent with companies and research institutions to solve real problems, and we run it the way we would want it run for us: one team, one mission, and a real outcome at the end of every edition.

How it works

From a real problem to a real outcome

  1. 01

    Real-world problems

    Companies, research institutions and the public sector bring questions they actually need answered.

  2. 02

    Multidisciplinary talent

    Students from engineering, business, computer science and the sciences form teams around each problem.

  3. 03

    Solutions

    Research insights, strategies, prototypes and concepts, presented to the people who own the problem.

  4. 04

    Lasting impact

    Stronger companies, sharper research, and students who have solved something real before they graduate.
