Take part in a StarTH Camp organised by our network!

Experience innovation and AI first-hand!

Fancy working with others to tackle real-world challenges and develop innovative ideas for a more sustainable future? At the two-day ‘Too Much Waste!’ Prompt-a-thon on 25 and 26 November 2026, you’ll work in teams on a specific start-up idea. You’ll get to try out innovation management methods first-hand and learn how digital tools and AI can support you in the innovation process.

Our challenges:

  • ReWear – Fashion reimagined: How can we make sustainable clothing consumption simpler, more appealing and more suitable for everyday life – and rethink second-hand shopping, repairs, swapping or upcycling?
  • Sort Smart – Waste sorting for everyone: How can we make waste sorting more understandable, inclusive and straightforward? Develop solutions that help people dispose of waste correctly and keep valuable resources in the cycle.
  • WasteLess – Saving food, utilising resources: How can we reduce food waste and make good use of surpluses? We’re looking for ideas that keep food in circulation for longer and make better use of resources throughout the value chain.

As you work on your challenge, you’ll use AItools for research, ideation, concept development and visualisation. Experienced mentors and experts will guide you through the innovation process, provide specialist input and challenge your ideas. At the end of the second day, you’ll take your solution to the stage and pitch it to an audience of interested parties!
