4) Stibo Systems Accelerator in Denmark

In this program, students work on projects based on their own interest in partnership with an industry partner. They are granted the opportunity to collaborate with a C-level executive for strategic guidance. Additionally, the students meet with the industry partner for an initial meeting, a mid-term review, and a final presentation and debriefing session.

5) Project-Based Collaboration

In this setup, students focus on a particular case project provided by your organization. They are given access to relevant data and can reach out to a designated contact person equipped with practical expertise for any queries. The program begins with a kick-off meeting, typically online. Throughout the project, students benefit from weekly guidance from a Stibo Systmes mentor and participate in both the mid-term assessment and a concluding presentation

6) Why participate?

Imagine the exhilaration of discovering a new opportunity or technology that has the potential to revolutionize your industry for the better. Exciting, isn't it?

Our goal is to capture that spontaneous spark of innovation. We achieve this by uniting bright, forward-thinking students with industry professionals who are eager to explore the future and recognize the importance of experimentation.
