The teams were guided in a digital innovation sprint of 7 weeks, based on design thinking and coached by innovation trainers from UMIO’s Service Science Factory and with live coaching moments with Essent professionals, resulting in a super-powerful co-creation and explosion of fruitful ideas. Via this link, you can find the ideas of the 39 student teams, wrapped in video pitches and one-page summaries.
Stephan Segbers (COO Essent) “For me personally, it was not only a lot of fun but also very insightful. I am impressed by the quality of pitches created and digital skills exhibited”.
“A hackathon provides a means to accelerate innovation”, says Sabine Janssen. As head of UMIO’s Service Science Factory (SSF), she coordinated this hackathon. “A hackathon is a design sprint in which solutions are found for business challenges with co-creation”.
