On Friday, November 10th, Startup24 entrepreneurship challenge took place in Seats2Meet location on Central Station in Utrecht, organized by UtrechtInc Students and facilitated by Time Space!

For 24 hours, four teams of students were creating and developing startup ideas, guided by experienced mentors, such as Michiel Kalverda – a TMI startup founder and trainer, and Joep Bremen – Lean and Agile coach. The evening started off with an opening ceremony, attended by Prince Constantijn of the Netherlands and newly assigned Minister of Education Ingrid van Engelshoven, who inspired the participants to focus on what they want to achieve and proceed with their projects. As the confetti canon marked the start of 24 hours, the students split into teams and the work began.
