The heat transition is in full swing. Neighborhoods need to go off natural gas, new energy systems are being developed, but one thing is lagging behind: the involvement of the local community. After all, how do you truly bring residents, entrepreneurs, and communities along in such a major change? How do you ensure that no one is left behind, and that support is created instead of resistance? As a driven student, you see opportunities where others mainly see challenges. Let's go! During this two-day workshop, you will tackle the question: How do we make the heat transition understandable, attractive, and feasible for everyone?

The Green Business Challenge opened many more doors than I had expected. In addition to working in a team full of motivated students, I also learned new things that I will take with me into the professional field.
I hadn't expected beforehand that the Green Business Challenge would provide such a networking boost. I worked directly with experts in the field and even landed a job! You build a network here in a short time that is truly useful. If you are looking for an entry into the green sector, this is it!
Students were like a mirror to me. They came up with refreshing ideas and brought the latest knowledge that I didn't know beforehand I needed to know.
I never thought that, as a student, I would immediately work with companies in the energy transition. Thanks to the challenge, I found my first job in the sector and built a network that I still benefit from.
Sign up and work with ambitious teams and leading organizations on concrete sustainable challenges.
