Testimonials

“The Research to Market Challenge was a fantastic team-building activity for us and an excellent networking opportunity. Meeting like-minded people and interacting with advisors really encouraged us in our idea and motivated us to keep pursuing it. Pitching in front of our peers and potential investors was also a lot of fun and the overall experience was really rewarding.”

"Participating in the Challenge didn't win us the prize, but it has been a great kick-start. I was motivated to think about how to turn an idea you have in your head into a structured and implementable concept. It helps you broaden the possibility space and shows you that you can definitely make it from university and theory with what makes you tick to a provider of a new product or service."

Aileen Moeck, Team The Future Builders, participant 2017
