Master Challenges are collaborative projects where companies like yours provide a real-world data challenge for one of our courses like Data Intrapreneurship in action. Teams of 4-5 talented JADS students, work closely with your organization over six months to analyze, model, and solve these challenges. Throughout the program, students engage with your company at multiple touchpoints to discuss project progress and share insights. This fosters innovation, ensures alignment with your goals, and yields tangible outcomes. These projects offer companies actionable insights and innovative solutions while students gain hands-on experience working with real business problems.

There are several courses in which your company can participate! Download the brochure to find out.

In this project, students created a street register for the Municipality of ‘s-Hertogenbosch. This register contains all current and historic information of the city center of ‘s Hertogenbosch at street level.

Improving Datacation's business model from a service-oriented perspective

Our Data-driven Service Innovation (DDSI) course challenged a class of motivated JADS students to assess and improve the current service offerings and business model of our industry partner, Datacation, using the knowledge they learned in class.
