UniVation

What is UniVation?

UniVation is an annual international entrepreneurship program conducted by WSA. In cooperation with several academic partners across Europe, UniVation brings together students from multiple universities to collaboratively analyse the European Young Innovators 2024. The program offers students an international and interdisciplinary collaboration and connects them with founders and award-winning teams from all over Europe. UniVation facilitates the integration of the real challenges and practical issues of digital impact ventures into university studies.

During the program students form multidisciplinary consultant teams that research improvements and work on solving the ventures’ challenges. For 4 weeks the students will meet in weekly sessions to get to know each other and build relevant skills. The program culminates at the European Young Innovators Festival, where the student teams meet in person and work to finalize their presentations. They can connect with their case study hosts and hear their final feedback and thoughts, before pitching their consultancy work in front of the founders and an international jury. In the end the jury will choose 3 final winners of UniVation 2024.
