Client projects

During the programme the team first familiarizes with the project assigment and the client, makes a project plan, executes the project and, last but not least, presents the project results to the client and to other participants.
The clients represent the local business, NGOs and public organisations. The project can include e.g. event planning and management, concept planning, developing marketing, communication or logistics, or product development. The results of the project can include development plans, reports, demos or events. Some of the projects are in English.
The projects are published to the attendees after the application process.
