"As you can imagine, Vector is an IT company in Germany and in Stuttgart. We work across the world, but most of my colleagues are German male engineers like myself.
So what a change - to be confronted with a bunch of people, different genders, different regions, different backgrounds. So we've been actually confronted with a lot of questions we have never asked ourselves. They really challenged our challenge. We had very vivid discussions and that was a really great experience.”
Peter Guse
Senior Manager Business Development
"We really had a great time with fantastic and brilliant minds you brought together and all the diverse teams you set up, so great shout out to to Campus Founders to getting all those talents together.
We had a short recap with the other companies and also asked what stood out and we all came to the conclusion, that it was the passion and energy the teams brought into the challenge.“
Johannes Leuschner
Head of Future Business
"The Corporate Campus Challenge was the first and probably most important stage in my professional development. Through the early collaboration with renowned companies such as SAP, I was able to build skills that opened up access to excellent internship opportunities and programs.
In addition, a safe space was created where I could try out my entrepreneurial skills for the first time. Finally, this experience and the continuous support also outside the CCC of Campus Founders led to my startup "Senior Connect".”
Tim Findeiss
Co-Founder & Managing Director
"A solution has emerged that we can implement, and we will implement it. We are happy to work together with the teams [...] because it is a truly excellent solution and one that we need.“In addition, a safe space was created where I could try out my entrepreneurial skills for the first time. Finally, this experience and the continuous support also outside the CCC of Campus Founders led to my startup "Senior Connect".”
