Kick-Off Maastricht University Challenge

The Maastricht University Challenge kicked off on 30 September, with more than twenty partners and over forty student teams joining up to celebrate the official start of the innovation contest.

The Maastricht University Challenge provides a platform for students and recent UM and Zuyd Hogeschool graduates to showcase and develop their innovative ideas related to societal and entrepreneurial issues. All participants in this challenge will be supported by coaches from the industry in their efforts to draw up a viable business plan.

The initial Meet & Greet sessions saw several fruitful conversations between participants and coaches, making their first connections and laying the groundwork for further collaboration in the coming months. More events, including a Speed Dating Event, will be organised in the next few weeks.
