Innovation Pilot Course

Innovation Pilot is a collaboration platform where companies and students meet, collaborate and build relationships. It is a collaborative innovation course during the fifth and sixth semesters of the BEng programme where students work in interdisciplinary groups with specific challenges or ideas, defined by participating companies.

The companies meet two to three times at DTU during the course and have the opportunity to test and develop new ideas in collaboration with students.

The Innovation Pilot course is run by DTU Engineering Technology staff. 

The course and collaboration format is especially aimed at small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) who want to establish a collaboration with DTU. The course is placed on the semester before the students have to write their graduation project, which opens the possibility of further collaboration between students and companies.

The process ends with a Demo Day, where the students and companies meet at DTU. On Demo Day, students present their innovation presentation and prototype in response to the challenges of the collaborating companies.
