The Digital Challenge 2022 ended on Friday evening in Kiel with an exciting and innovative finale. Over seventy students, teachers and representatives of the participating companies as well as supporters of the project took part in the closing event and award ceremony.

The individual teams from all over Schleswig-Holstein presented their ideas, which they had developed within a week, in short pitches and answered the jury's critical questions.

The focus was on topics such as energy services, mobility of the future and the Metaverse. This year, four companies from Schleswig-Holstein took part: Süverkrüp Automobile GmbH & Co. KG, POHL Group, vedec - Verband für Energiedienstleistungen Effizienz und Contracting e.V. and DF Automotive GmbH as well as eight student groups from the participating universities. A winning team was chosen for each location. The "ContractComplexEnergy" team from the West Coast University of Applied Sciences came out on top across all locations with their idea of a digital order platform for vedec - Association for Energy Services.
As patron of the Digital Challenge, Economics Minister Claus Ruhe Madsen used motivating words to encourage the students to believe in their own ideas and advised companies to be open to these ideas. Because one thing is certain for him: the ideas of tomorrow come from young people.
