Accenture University Innovation Challenge 2023

A group of SUTD students, Justin Wong (ESD Junior), Emily Chee (ESD Junior), Tee Yue Wan (ESD Junior), Ng Qiao Wen (ESD Junior), and Ng Xue Min (ISTD Junior) joined the Accenture innovation challenge in January 2023. The problem statement was “How might we help the travel and hospitality industry reduce carbon emissions”. The challenge spanned over two weeks, and the team was assigned a mentor, Ishan Girdhar who patiently gave them insightful feedback and prepared them for the final presentation/pitching to the judges. The team emerged as one of the finalists out of six groups. Through this event, the students gained more exposure to Accenture’s culture and networked with many like-minded individuals. All of them had a return offer for Fall Internship 2023 with Accenture.
