The first day, Friday, would start with a meeting where people would meet and have the first contact. For this, an activity is organized in which the participants who have ideas will be exposed in 1 minute and then the teams will be formed according to the interest of each one. The activities are oriented to show people skills and personality so everyone can find for their perfect fit

On the last day teams will polish the details and will present their project in front of the other teams and experts for a maximum time of 5 minutes.

The outcome of this activity for companies is finding new ways to solve problems or challenges, recruit new talent for the organization or even media exposure. Of all the process the main advantages that are obtained are: fresh ideas, search of talent, notoriety in the sector …
