UNCHANGED AMBITIONS FOR THE 5TH EDITION OF HIBSTER

HIBSTER is a unique opportunity for students to experience the first steps of an entrepreneur in nutrition and health. The challenge for the regional center of excellence in nutrition and health is to inspire students to contribute to the development of this sector, to discover and better understand the issues facing companies in nutrition, health, and sports—a rapidly expanding sector.

"Participating in HIBSTER was above all a personal challenge with the goal of stepping outside my comfort zone and successfully setting up a project with students I didn't know and who came from different academic backgrounds than mine. The bootcamp enabled me to improve my teamwork skills, to be efficient and concise, but also to put myself in a company's shoes and understand the challenges and issues it may face," says Kévin, HIBSTER 2019 winner.
