The Challenge Bank is a platform that:

  • Gathers creative, innovative and socially relevant needs that enable students to work on meaningful projects;
  • Strengthens cooperation between the University and the industry;
  • Accumulates and collects ideas and challenges of merchants and society, which are used within activities of the Innovation Laboratory and the Business Laboratory;
  • Ensures finance raising for the program of private funding.
We can already see the added value of cooperation between industry and students. It is a great opportunity to offer students to gain experience and understanding of the work for actual companies through the learning process and cooperation. We see that by participating in this program entrepreneurs can get an innovative point of view of their given challenges, they will be able to get to know their potential employees, and it is also a great opportunity to support and strengthen the higher education institution of the Vidzeme Region.
