24 hours of nonstop product development: 8 tasks, 8 student teams and 24 hours of time. This is the recipe offered by the “TU Austria Innovation Marathon” to find solutions for real assignments from businesses. In this plenary session, the teams will present the solutions they have come up with in 24 hours in Alpbach.
