On 14 May at 13:00, TalTech will host the next student project competition, TalTech Sustainable Futures: Pitching Day 2026, at the TalTech Student House.
In addition to teams from EuroTeQ Collider courses (problem-, project-, and challenge-based learning in the spring semester), teams from the IGNITER programme will also take the stage.

Event Structure
Within the EuroTeQ Collider theme “Enhance Connections for Sustainable Futures”, the jury will select the three best projects, whose teams will represent TalTech at the EuroTeQaThon - a competition between EuroTeQ partner universities. This year, the sixth edition will take place on 13–15 June at the Technical University of Denmark.
For the IGNITER programme, the best business ideas will be awarded prizes provided by various partners. In addition, one team will have the opportunity to participate in the IESE Business School Bootcamp programme at the end of July, supporting further development and market entry of their solution.
Purpose of the event: The main goal of the event is to highlight both: the outcomes of problem- and project-based learning, and innovative business ideas. Both combine real-world challenges, research-based approaches, and entrepreneurial competences to drive innovation and strengthen co-creation within the university. The event will be held in English.
