Created by the Ecole Supérieure des Technologies Industrielles Avancées (ESTIA) in France in 2007,
“Les 24h de l’innovation®” is an event based on creativity and innovation in 24 hours.
The main idea is to create a synergy to give the different participants in the teams an extraordinary experience.
The teams, made up of students from different schools and universities, as well as professionals, employees, freelancers, consultants and artists, are free to form on the day and have 24 hours to work on the real subject of their choice.
The aim is to develop, as a team, creative and innovative concepts, products and services (software, artistic creations, communication and marketing campaigns, new organisations, etc.) based on themes and subjects proposed by companies, laboratories and designers, which are unveiled at the opening ceremony.
A multi-disciplinary team of coaches will be on hand throughout the 24 hours to support the participants.
The following day, the teams must present their results in the form of a 3-minute pitch to a panel of judges.
The best teams are awarded prizes following the jury’s deliberations on the same day.
TEAMIT+ aims to expand the initial organization of the 24h of Innovation® across different European countries (France, Spain, Greece, Finland), in order to bring together the concerns of companies and organisations that want to change the world. Bringing together a diverse group of companies, students from different universities and VETs, associations, NGOs and innovators, the 24h of Innovation® will serve as a center of creativity and innovation.
Through active learning (“learning by doing”), this event will encourage us to rethink the future, which must break away from today’s paradigms due to the critical state of our world. Innovation can no longer be defined solely as “a new service, product or process that finds its market and offers a competitive advantage to the company or organisation that implements it”. Returning to the very essence of innovation – which must constantly seek to improve on what already exists, we want to explore a new approach to innovation that aims to provide positive value for the planet and future generations.
The aim here is to promote, support and share innovative ideas that are truly creative and groundbreaking, leading to exceptional innovations with a positive environmental and social impact.
These “impact innovations” are defined as new services, products, or processes that can find economically viable markets to ensure sustainable use while enhancing their social and environmental impacts. To achieve this, it’s essential to mobilize and collaborate with creative minds worldwide. TEAMIT+ and “24h of Innovation” places the focus on the younger generations, highlighting their role in shaping the future.
