The winners

• Digital Shift: LOOPS, tackling world complexity

• Best Upgrade: Vis ma vie de correcteur

• Best Fresh Design: French Kiss

• Coup de coeur du public: Virtual Fly-In 360 Experience

Virtual Fly-In 360º Experience

The presentation that the audience liked the most was Virtual Fly-In 360º Experience. Margarita Servera, head of Marketing and Development, Sofia Nieto, Project Manager, and Beatriz Marco, Communications Coordinator, were in charge of presenting the project in 180 seconds.

The project consists of an application that allows students to discover TBS Education campuses remotely, explore the cities where they are located, and interact with students and staff. In addition, a special kit was sent to different counselors with virtual reality glasses to enjoy the experience and an interactive session was organized with TBS professor Yancy Vaillant on entrepreneurship and higher education.

Innovation Day, the festival of innovation

TBS Innovation Day is the day of innovation at school. For a whole day, conferences and activities are organized with the aim of promoting the creativity of the entire TBS Education Community.

This edition could be followed 100% online due to health restrictions, which also allowed for more interaction between the Toulouse, Barcelona, Paris, and Casablanca campuses. For example, a conference was organized for each TBS Campus. The Barcelona talk was given by Adriaan Landman, co-founder of the startup “Allread MLT”, who spoke about innovation and start-ups.
