Our teams successfully tackled the challenges set by Sylvac SA and SMACA SA, presenting innovative solutions to the following issues:

𝐒𝐲𝐥𝐯𝐚𝐜 𝐒𝐀: “How could we facilitate Sylvac SA’s transition to a circular economy by optimizing the reuse of end-of-life products and components while overcoming the challenges associated with this transformation?”

Thanks to the outstanding work of Alessio Salanitro, Lily-Rose ANDRIEUX, Alexis Quaglia, and Anthony Scheuner, the Sylvac team made it into the Top 10 among 57 competing teams!

𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐂𝐀 𝐒𝐀: “How could we design an innovative educational and recreational concept on a 3,000m² site, enabling effective certification of learners’ skills while ensuring the project’s economic viability?”

A huge congratulations to Arulampalam Avinash, David Meckert, Eliott Munck, Céline Peer and Arthur Boegner, whose work was awarded the 2nd Jury Prize!

We also extend our gratitude to the mentors Yves Groux (Sylvac) and Cyril Rubeli (SMACA), as well as their coaches.
