Different perspectives, shared impact!

Challenge Week 040 is founded by TU/e Innovation Space, Fontys Pulsed, and Summa Engineering. Students from these institutions join forces with students from across Europe to tackle real-world challenges for real clients.

We believe that every student can contribute to innovations that make the world a better place. By bringing different perspectives, skills, and experiences together, we create real impact. In our own region and beyond!

That’s the spirit behind Challenge Week 040!
