One month to go in Valeo Innovation Challenge

Jan. 16, 2014
Engineering students around the world have just one month left to take part in the global Valeo Innovation Challenge to make cars more intelligent.

Three hundred teams from 40 countries and representing 254 universities have already signed up on the website dedicated to the global Valeo Innovation Challenge. 

Engineering students around the world have just one month left to take part in the global Valeo Innovation Challenge. Projects must be submitted by Feb. 14, 2014, to try to win the first price of $136,000. 

The goal of the Valeo Innovation Challenge is to design equipment that, between now and 2030, will make cars more intelligent and intuitive. Students taking part in the Challenge must develop bold, revolutionary solutions for the cars of the future. 

On April 15, 2014, the 20 teams shortlisted by the Valeo experts will be named. Valeo will grant each team nearly $7,000 to create a functioning prototype. The three teams that submit the most innovative projects will be chosen on Sept. 17, 2014 to present their projects to a jury chaired by Jacques Aschenbroich, Valeo Chief Executive Officer, and comprised of members of the Group’s senior management team, as well as eminent figures from the worlds of science and design. The jury will designate the winning team, which will receive $136,000, with the second and third-place teams each receiving $14,000. 

With the Innovation Challenge, Valeo is demonstrating once again that innovation and R&D are top priorities for the Group. Indeed, innovation guides the teams who are working each day to invent the automobiles of tomorrow.
