A little more than 3 weeks have gone by since the ideation week-end. Just enough time for the 6 teams to “go out of the building” and test their initial ideas, value proposition as well as make some rough sketches/rendering of their projects. Each team had 10 minutes to present their concept and answer some questions from a jury composed of members from EPFL, ecal and UNIL. As you can imagine, the selection has not been easy. So, first of all, kudos to all the teams for the hardwork and for the great presentations!
The jury assessed the projects on their technical, design and commercial aspects as well as on the competences represented within the team. After deliberation the 4 selected teams are:
- Aimo
- Heaböx
- OKeep
- Tikku
Actual work on the projects will start in February 2016 but don’t hesitate to tune back in regularly as we’ll keep announcing things, including some exciting news regarding CHIP – the China Hardware Innovation Platform….
Last but not least, thanks to all the jury members: Alex Wayenberg (via Skype from Hong Kong), Thibault Estier (UNIL), Vincent Jacquier and Stéphane Halmaï-Voisard (ecal), Cédric Duchêne (EPFL+ecal Lab) and Pablo Garcia del Valle (EPFL).
