THE PROGRAMME
The 2024 Pangaea X program, with its emphasis on rapid innovation and personal development, has had a considerable impact on participants and teams alike. This year, the focus was on rapid and frequent hypothesis testing to accelerate concept validation and solution implementation. By integrating artificial intelligence, the program enabled teams to get closer to their customers quickly, facilitating rapid and efficient iteration.
A key aspect was to ensure clarity and elevation of ideas for the nine teams involved. This involved assessing market viability, exploring feasibility and taking their concepts forward.
