EDHEC Business School, VIVATECH academic partner
Taking place next from May 16th to 18th at Porte de Versailles, Paris, Viva Technology is the world’s rendezvous for startups and leaders to celebrate innovation. This year, the event welcomes more than 100,000 attendees from over the world, including 9,000 startups, 1,900 investors and 150 conferences.
As a prominent high education actor for the society of the future and as an academic partner for this event, EDHEC Business School partners with Techcrunch to organize a 36-hour hackathon. The EDHEC hackathon is to imagine the most relevant digital solutions to help students in their future career choices.
32 Hours, 1000 Square meters, 6 Teams, 1 Award
As part of a global partnership that offers several opportunities to students, Alumni and EDHEC professors to become actors of the largest pool of innovation and start-ups in France, EDHEC has launched a call for developers, designers, new technologies geeks and all those who are passionate to meet the challenges of tomorrow’s education. For 32 hours, a hundred of developers, designers and marketers will be invited to compete as a team and take up a creative challenge related to EDHEC DNA: "imagine digital solutions to support students’ career choices."
EDHEC students will also be invited to take part in this adventure by integrating the different teams of the hackathon on each group. At the end of the competition, a jury composed of Alumni EDHEC will designate the winning team. In front of more than 500 people, the winning team will receive a prize of 5000 euros at a prestigious ceremony that will take place the same day at Vivatech.
TechCrunch, the organizing partner, is the world leader in tech media and start-ups. A livestream will be provided during project presentations.
