🚀 An opportunity from our friends and partners for Skoltech Startup Club participants
Want to test your startup and innovation skills on a real business challenge — not a classroom case?
Our friends and partners at the Phoenix Center for Assistive Technologies invite Skoltech students to join “Solutions Lab”, an intensive project workshop taking place on September 12 as part of the 4th Open Moscow Cybathlon Championship.

You will work in a team on a real challenge from one of the technology companies based at the Phoenix Center — companies working in Assistive Technologies, WellnessTech, and LongevityTech.
In just 3 hours, you will go through the entire innovation process:

A total of 12 teams of 5 participants will work on the challenges and present their solutions to representatives of the business community and invited experts.
