1. Description of the challenge

Cleaning plays a crucial role in many industries—but how can we make it smarter, faster, and more reliable using technology?

At Diversey we truly value innovation and we are always looking for ways to get new ideas for the next generation of products. By being able to work closely with universities we can get insights from the latest technologies and connect with students that could potentially become future colleagues.

2. Expected outcome

Get fresh and innovative ideas, really out of the box of industry current practices. Also connecting with students that might be interested in internship opportunities and who knows job opportunities later on, as well as networking with other industry partners.
