In our Cross Innovation Insights #3, we provide insights into the practice of our work - this time in the Cross Innovation Class format.
In the Cross Innovation Class, students from different disciplines meet companies from all sectors and of all sizes. They spend a semester developing innovative prototypes in interdisciplinary teams. The benefit? Companies get an unbiased, fresh view of a young generation from the outside and work exclusively with potential young talent. Students familiarise themselves with all phases of product development, gain practical experience and meet potential employers.
The ACO Group has already attended the class twice - most recently in 2023. The Group is one of the world's leading WaterTech companies. In the class, ACO looked for solutions to significantly reduce urban water consumption in everyday situations and make rainwater usable in a sensible way. The result is both the "Clean House" concept and a smart water storage tank for extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall.
Stephan Kehren, Key Manager GaLaBau at the ACO Group, accompanied both projects. At Cross Innovation Insights #3, he provides exciting insights into the resulting cases and the working methods and effectiveness of the Cross Innovation Class format.
In April starts the Cross Innovation Class 2024. Learn more in thethe one-hour More about the potential of the format and the concrete benefits for your Company. We will be happy to answer your questions.
