Energizing the Future 2025 – Creathon op The Green Box Cleantech Campus

Friday, 16 May 2025

This edition of the Creathon for both UT and 4TU honours students had a very special location: The Green Box Cleantech Campus in Hengelo. A unique ecosystem of inspiring collaborations based on sustainable energy.

During the 2-day event, students worked in teams on challenging cases from Stedin, Eaton, SuperB and Koolen Industries. Day 1 for the 4TU honours students consisted of forming mixed teams, getting to know each other and attending various workshops.

On day 2, the Creathon Energising the Future took place. The students, divided into 17 teams, worked on their business concepts. The four companies were on hand with coaches for substantive, in-depth questions. With advice from the University of Twente coaches, they selected which team was allowed to go to the Dragons Den final. Meanwhile, Kees Koolen's keynote managed to inspire the students with his view on the future of Cleantech and entrepreneurship.

The Dragons' Den Finale

Four teams, four ideas, one chance to shine! The finalists presented their business concepts to a panel of experts, followed by firm Q&As. The level was high and the energy was palpable. Congratulations to the 4TU honours team HelloGrid and their idea to spread the peak load in energy use over the day.

Thank you The Green Box Cleantech Campus  for the energy and hospitality!
