There are clearly defined areas - not too wide nor too narrow. Areas where there is an urgent need for better ideas. For that purpose, world-renowned creative thinking techniques are being used.
The ideathons are thoroughly researched and prepared. The participants learn in an active way about the subject matter. They practice some creative techniques. By actual working together, they build a strong network at the same time.
