”This was the first time I ever did an Innovation Challenge like that and I honestly didn’t know what to expect. But I was immediately impressed by the quantity and ingenuity of the submissions we received, by the motivation and spirit of the finalist teams during our bootcamp and eventually by the outstanding quality of their final pitches. It was a pleasure to work with a great partner like Ekipa at our side throughout that entire journey.
