The
Social Innovation challenge is an opportunity for students from different
schools to come together to address specific social challenges and to come up
with possible business solutions which would solve such problems.
The Social Innovation Challenge is an intense experience for the students since
they have to propose a solution within 6 hours, given access to tools,
information and resources. The team members will have to adapt to each other
quickly, analyse the social issue at hand and find out how to work together
most efficiently to come up with the winning solution.
Students use the Innovation Staircase to explore their solutions and develop
their entrepreneurial team. Additionally, we take a good look at the UN’s
Sustainable Development Goals to identify issues/problems that need to be
addressed. This provides a great starting point for the ideation process.
