The IMT challenge dedicated to sustainable innovation
Launched in 2022, the Convergence Challenge provides an opportunity for students at IMT to innovate by taking a resolutely sustainable approach to concrete and local business issues.
The aim of this annual event is to train future engineers and managers to be informed, responsible and well-equipped, especially by drawing on impact-based research around the challenges of the ecological transition.
This year’s Convergence Challenge will take place from April 24 to 27, 2025, in the Agde and Sète region of Occitanie.
