Implementation tips
- You can add emphasis by choosing a theme/focus in addition to the challenge, for example, sustainability, digitalisation or internationalisation. In this case, business ideas are developed from a specific perspective and the theme can be developed in depth.
- The package should be complemented by a workplace visitor. This visitor is suitable for both the working life and entrepreneurship sections.
