On September 18th, 2019, the first edition of Falling Walls Lab Delft gave the chance to 13 young innovators to explain their groundbreaking ideas in 3 min. A multi-disciplinary jury had the hard job to select one winner to send to Berlin, to present once again in front of hundreds of people the most impactful idea.
Our Lab winner, Rushabh Chheda, presented in Berlin and won the third position, having the opportunity to pitch once again the 9th of November during the main conference, in front of people like the ministry of the education of Germany, the President of ERC or the director of the Nobel Foundation’s Board of Directors.
