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.
