Two t:hub representatives, Or Shabtai Feldman and Maayan Hagar, set out to represent the Technion and the Israeli entrepreneurship community at EuroTeQathon 2025, held at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the Netherlands – one of Europe’s leading hubs of innovation. Over several intensive days, they collaborated with 24 teams from across the continent, all united by a common goal: developing innovative solutions to pressing global challenges.

During the conference, they underwent specialized training in the Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) methodology – an innovative educational approach that combines real-world problem-solving with active learning, and which will soon be integrated into t:hub’s activities. In addition to hands-on workshops, they participated in inspiring sessions with experts in entrepreneurship, technology, and education, were exposed to advanced models for driving innovation, and experienced Europe’s knowledge-sharing culture firsthand.

The visit was not limited to professional content alone – each evening featured networking events with leading entrepreneurs, investors, and researchers, which led to the creation of significant international connections. These relationships are expected to serve as fertile ground for new collaborations and for expanding the Technion’s impact on the global stage.

The insights, knowledge, and international connections gained during the visit underscore the significant value of participating in international events in advancing personal, academic, and entrepreneurial excellence, while strengthening the position of the t:hub community in the global arena.
