A journey towards innovations
Since 2013, Innovate or die has been developing a platform for producing innovations. During the past six years we have organized nationwide innovation competitions, where goal-oriented university students from different fields of studies competed against each other – who will come up with the most innovative solutions to real life business challenges. These years have been such an amazing journey for all of us and it’s been a pleasure to meet so many passionate people and live through this experience together.
This year it’s time to take a breather and head towards the future with refreshed minds! See you soon. – The Crew
Together We Can Achieve More
By the end of 2017, we’ve had the pleasure to work with development-oriented companies and the most motivated and ambitious students from universities around Finland and Barcelona. We are more eager than ever to offer you a chance to take part in this journey!

This intensive, communal experience takes place in November 2018.
How does it work? In Innovate or die we believe that innovations can be born in unexpected environments. Join the event and you’ll get a chance to work with teams of students from various backgrounds, fields of studies and even countries! To enable the the most creative innovations for your company, teams will take part in a coaching day and make research of your company beforehand. At the end of the process, you will receive 4-6 different solutions to bring in to use.

Take the next step and work with the creators of tomorrow!
