2024/04/16
The innovation power of TUDa lies in many forward-thinking ideas: as research results, business ideas, or simply as whims on campus. HIGHEST, the innovation and startup center of TU Darmstadt, aims to unearth this potential and is once again hosting the TU Idea Competition, TU-Ideenwettbewerb, #DeineIdee2024 this year!
“Ideas are the conceptual starting point of innovations. And these, in turn, often form the basis of real change. In the engineering and technical field, we refer to them as DeepTech. In our TU Idea Competition, we are on their trail,” motivates Professor Thomas Walther, Vice President for Innovation and International Affairs at TU Darmstadt, to participate.
