What is this event about?
Are you looking for an extra challenge? Do you want to apply your knowledge to a real-life (bio)technological challenge and come up with an innovative solution? Or are you just in for an inspiring evening about innovation? Then join us during the info evening about the innovation challenges of Technovation Hub!
The evening starts with an inspirational keynote by Jef Monballieu. Emission reductions, ever growing wind turbines, offshore floating PV, multi-use of space: these are some of the challenges that an offshore contractor faces. This presentation will showcase how innovation is organized at a large company and how innovation is used to solve these challenges.
During the second part of the programme, you’ll find out more about the innovation challenges, which ones you can join and ask any question you might have about the challenges.
Afterwards, you’ll also get a chance to pre-register for a challenge. Your coach will then contact you for a first meeting with the team. Afterwards you can officially start your journey as an innovator!
