Coinciding with the start of the academic year, a new international student competition is being launched in six European countries: the ‘Henkel Innovation Challenge’. The search is on for innovative ideas relating to products and business concepts for the future in the field of laundry and home care. The competition is directed at students of all disciplines. Self-organized in teams of three, their remit is to get their creative ideas down on paper and submit them to Henkel. The company will then invite the teams with the most convincing concepts to the national finals to be held at the Henkel headquarters in Düsseldorf, Germany and the respective subsidiaries. Those adjudged to be the best will then go on to the international finals in Barcelona next April. In addition to an award ceremony, the winning team can also look forward to an exciting and stimulating trip to Istanbul. Every participant can expect to gain from the experience and particularly from the opportunity to forge invaluable contacts with a major and highly international company. “We regard the ‘Henkel Innovation Challenge’ as a unique chance for us and the participating students to get acquainted and enjoy the rewards of an intensive exchange of views,” explains jury member Fridtjof Helemann, Vice President Corporate Policies at Henkel.
