09:15 – 15:30 | Innovating for Agriculture's Future!
Over the past twenty years, we have grown into a leading global producer of high-quality animal feed. We have the ambition to continue growing sustainably but to achieve this, we have to respond quickly and effectively to changes in our environment.
We live in a fast-changing world, where customer needs and expectations evolve rapidly. To keep up with these changes, we need to be agile and innovative. We have a unique combination of knowledge, experience and talents from different backgrounds and cultures in our company. What if we could unlock this potential of unique talents to generate new solutions and opportunities that help our customers thrive?
That's why we organise a Hackathon. It's a collaborative journey where teams leverage their diverse skills to innovate, brainstorm, design and implement solutions for real De Heus challenges. The goal is to create a concrete prototype or proof-of-concept for a service, approach, product or concept within a short timeframe. It presents a unique opportunity to unleash all our talents to explore new business opportunities and bridge the gap with unmet customer needs.
Are you ready to hack the future?
