Entrepreneurship as a way of life, technology as a tool for change, and education as a space for experimentation – in this spirit, Kozminski University hosted the InnoEduPipe DigiEduHack on 14–15 November, organised as part of the international 4InnoPipe2 project.
Over two intense days, more than 215 participants worked on solutions aimed at redesigning the education of the future. Teams developed projects in three key areas: Assessment & Grading, Teacher Support and Student Support, with all ideas required to address the overarching meta-category of Digital Transformation & AI.
The result: 63 projects, 15 of which were awarded and qualified for the global phase of DigiEduHack. The full list of winning solutions is available on the organiser’s website: https://digieduhack.com/challenges/innoedu-hack
Seventeen teams went a step further and prepared working demos of their solutions – most of them built using low-code technologies, as encouraged during talks and mentoring sessions by, among others, Kornel Dubieniecki. Thanks to this approach, many ideas immediately took the form of tangible products and services that can be tested with real users.
Mentoring sessions were also in high demand. One of the most sought-after mentors was Sebastian Szwaczka, who shared his experience at the intersection of technology, education and innovation. His remarks are being made available by the organisers in the post-event materials.
The organisers would like to thank all participants, mentors and event partners for their energy, creativity and courage in developing solutions that can genuinely transform education – both locally and globally.

About the project
4InnoPipe2 – when the university becomes a space for innovation
Thanks to new technologies and startup culture, young people no longer have to wait for the “right moment” to enter the world of innovation. They can do so already during their studies – by testing ideas, building prototypes and working in international project teams. The international project 4InnoPipe2 (Strengthening Innovation Pipelines – Impactful Universities 2.0), implemented in Poland by Kozminski University, shows that academic entrepreneurship can become a way of life, and that the university is one of the best places to begin one’s own path in business. 4InnoPipe2 is a European initiative supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). Its goal is to strengthen innovation pipelines – from an idea emerging in the academic environment all the way to bringing a product or service to market. The project connects universities, companies, public institutions and industry organisations across Europe, creating an international space for collaboration, testing solutions and exchanging experience.
