What is Unilever IdeaTrophy?

A Development program designed to create an "out-of-the-classroom" learning experience that focuses on the development of personal and entrepreneurial competencies among graduates.

It is a challenging and creative experience, where students from different universities figure out how business works in real life while developing their own skills and competencies.

This is a business challenge working with a brand and not a game! It's too real to be a game!
