After months of collaboration, creativity, and entrepreneurial development, the second edition of TEAMIT+ reached its final milestone, bringing together young innovators from across Europe to transform ideas into impactful solutions for real sustainability challenges.
Following the successful first bootcamp held in Athens, where participants first met, formed international teams, and explored sustainability challenges, the journey continued in France during the 2nd Bootcamp (6–11 May 2026).
Participants from Spain, France, Finland, and Greece reunited to further develop their ideas, strengthen their teamwork, and prepare for the final stage of the programme.
They engaged in an intensive week combining mentoring sessions, inspirational talks and reflection activities. Teams worked on refining their projects through practical activities that have to do with Prototyping, Sustainable Business Model development and Impact measurement.
Working closely with coaches and mentors, participants transformed early-stage concepts into more structured and impactful entrepreneurial solutions.
11 teams – ideas for a more sustainable future
The final projects covered a wide range of topics, including electronic waste, water scarcity, recycling education, sustainable agriculture, construction waste, energy recovery, food insecurity, winery waste. Each team demonstrated how young people can transform real sustainability challenges into creative and concrete solutions.
