Stanislav Mikhaylov from Russia won the entrepreneurship bootcamp. He is developing an app that scans barcodes of groceries, and provides you with tailor-made advice on what to choose. Experts from Trinity College Dublin, Ordina, EuroDev, Mecal and NIKOS agreed that this was the most promising business idea of the week.

Other ideas involved e-learning programs, catheters for stem cell detraction from hearts, sand-skiing and vital health stations at work.

The event is part of Twente Summer School. The next bootcamp is planned for July 2014.
