Second Edition of the Mines-Télécom Mix Industry Challenge
The second edition of the Mines-Télécom challenge was held from July 1-3 2016 at the Brest campus of Télécom Bretagne. This year, the hackathon brought together approximately fifty students from the ten of the Institute’s schools for a weekend of creativity and development.
A focus on companies of the future
After a first edition in July 2015 at Mines Alès, this year Télécom Bretagne hosted the hackathon with a focus on “Industry of the Future”, promoting an experience of collaborative innovation and entrepreneurship.
Over the course of 48 hours (from Friday evening to Sunday noon), developers, start-up owners, marketers, makers, students and industrialists gathered to imagine and develop concrete applications and new services to facilitate the digital transition and the acceleration of our industry, such as the following examples:
- the connection and control of everyday objects,
- the digitalization and dematerialization of the most common procedures,
- data and identity protection,
- the development of new forms of mobility
Over the course of the weekend, students had the opportunity to talk with different groups and professions, like teams from the Airbus Group, Delta Dore, Nokia, Euratechnologie and many other partners, in order to help them develop their projects.
Design work in FabLabs, workshops (user-oriented design, economic models, agile presentation), coaching sessions, presentations by industrialists, and pitch sessions were all organized to supervise and support students in the development of their projects.
