Well, Product Development Project (PdP) is a course that is primarily aimed at master level students of any field, who want to learn the development process of investment and/or consumer products.

The challenges are real and sponsored with 10.000€ by industry partners, who are searching for innovative cooperation with the next generation of changemakers…and YOU can be part of it. In PdP, all teams are expected to build functional prototypes and carry out testing in meaningful way.If you are a student of design, business or technology and you want to learn real product development – you can’t have better option than this!
