In all activities the participants will be presented with pre-identified, real-life challenges framed by external stakeholders - including the local community, entrepreneurs, and businesses - and will be supported by a cross-disciplinary/sector team of advisors from a wide variety of disciplines including innovation, enterprise, technology, and design.
