On Friday, November 24th, the final touch was put on the Innovation Hackathon organized by the Talent Incubator in collaboration with the multinational company Lactalis Puleva
Following the incredible experience on November 10th, where 70 student groups tested their skills to tackle a challenging yet enjoyable real management challenge proposed by Lactalis Puleva, the final awards gala took place last Friday. The six finalist groups presented their projects, demonstrating their high potential, mastery of project presentation and communication skills, and the ability to respond professionally to the jury’s questions.
It was an intense afternoon, full of nerves, where very interesting projects were presented, loaded with creativity and exposed with tremendous talent and passion!
The jury consisted of Lactalis Puleva executives: Miguel García Cuesta, Marketing Director; Sonia Rodríguez Muriel, HR and Talent Director; Federico Lara Villoslada, R+D Manager; Luis Enrique García Ayuso, Quality and Food Safety Director; and Rafael Angulo Cano, Commercial Director. The jury did an excellent job providing valuable feedback to the participants on the different proposals.
In addition to the jury members, part of the Lactalis Puleva professional team that accompanied the students in this adventure was present: Estefanía Moreno Pérez, María Reyes Roldán, Cristina Lucendo, Oscar Mexia, and Lucia Alcaide Camino, along with professors from the University of Granada who had previously supervised and evaluated the works: Nuria Esther Hurtado, Maria Ruiz, Natalia Ortiz-de-Mandojana, Encarnación Garcia, Juan Valbuena, and Elena Mellado.
