Covid-19 Innovation Competition

In April 2020, the Hoffmann Institute and the Rudolf and Valeria Maag INSEAD Centre for Entrepreneurship supported the student-led Covid-19 Innovation Competition for MBA students.

In total, 120 students participated in the competition, with 50 innovative ideas presented to a panel of judges. The award for best business venture went to a solo-working platform, Out of Office Spaces, which was also named the MBA Start-up of 2021 by Business Because. The award for best business venture with the strongest social impact was granted to FarmFresh, a venture that connects farmers with customers in Ghana to avoid supply chain disruption.

The global INSEAD community, alumni, and corporate partners strengthened the competition with their support, as our students demonstrated how entrepreneurship can be a force for good.
