This 3-day Learning Experience is for young professionals in mobility and infrastructure. They work on a challenge of the industry, broaden their network and develop skills that enable them to create sustainable value for others.

Program

The Infra Battle is an all inclusive event.  Participants work in multidisciplinary teams with young professionals from other organizations on a complex challenge in the industry. You will follow masterclasses, work on the challenge, meet stakeholders and generate awesome solutions.

Day 1 is about getting to know your teammates and understanding and exploring the context of the challenge. You will meet the challenge-owner and dive into the points of view of various stakeholders. In the evening we bring a social game to boost your network and add some more fun.

Day 2 is the creative highlight. You will dive into various brainstorming techniques and design the first outline of the solution and validate it with the stakeholders.

Day 3 is your moment of fame, as you and your teammates will  prepare a breathtaking pitch for the Dragons, your own guests and the other teams. And that moment of fame will take place in the afternoon, followed by drinks and snacks to celebrate the achievement.
