Are you in need of some inspiration for the new year? Then let enlighten you by the spark of the Think Green Academy and the great green business ideas that resulted out of the program!
The Think Green Academy is the new format of the HPI Student Academy together with the SAP Young Thinkers program. The online event spans several months, during which participants work in teams to develop sustainable business ideas. Here you can find more detailed information.
From October to December, 35 students in 12 teams worked keen on their green business ideas within the scope of the first Think Green Academy.
The program took place over a series of sessions where they learned about topics such as Snap!, MicroBlocks, and Design Thinking, and worked on developing prototypes of their ideas accompanied by mentors. You can be flashed by all the ideas that evolved during this intense time.
The ideas made it to highly qualified pitches. Finally, those were presented in front of an expert jury from SAP, Hasso Plattner Institute, Wissensfabrik and Exxeta.
Let our next generation inspire you!
The jury's task was to nominate the winning teams in three categories:
Congratulations to the winning teams at this point for their achievement! Let our next generation inspire you!
The Think Green Academy resulted of a successful cooperation of SAP Young Thinkers and the Hasso Plattner Institute. However, without the great contributions of our workshop leads, the mentors and our jury team this pogram could not have succeeded.
At this point we want to thank all the contributors for their time and their effort to enable young students to explore and develop their green business ideas.
Think Green Academy was a pilot program and we are eager to repeat it this year and to constantly improve it in the future. In case of further questions to the program reach out to us by commenting this blogpost.
