Business Innovation Camp is a rapid, engaging innovation and university collaboration process for companies. It's a university-facilitated process where companies set a challenge for student teams to solve and introduce new thinking.

Combining dialogue with fresh minds moves business forward
The innovation camp combines student teams to face real-world challenges represented by case companies via a series of innovation sessions. The camp’s goal is to reduce the uncertainty in bringing a new product/service/feature to the market. Teams with curious and motivated mindsets without constraints of experienced professionals bring out novel approaches.
