What's the InCube Challenge?

A living innovation powerhouse. Right in the heart of Zurich. 
Imagine this: five brilliant minds, locked in a transparent Cube, surrounded by the buzz of the city, working day and night to crack a real-world challenge. That’s the InCube Challenge; a high-voltage innovation sprint powered by the ETH Entrepreneur Club.
It’s not just a hackathon. It’s a public spectacle of creativity, collaboration, and cutting-edge thinking, where the world watches ideas come to life in real time.
And ABB? We’re right in the middle of it. Because when the future is being built, we build it together.
- Jennifer, Senior Researcher, CA


The InCube Journey

From the alpine heights of Davos to the urban pulse of Zurich, the InCube Challenge is a whirlwind of creativity, collaboration, and bold thinking. It kicks off with a week of team building, design thinking, and surprise team reveals, and culminates in five strangers stepping into a glass Cube to solve one epic real-world challenge.
The grand finale? A live pitch where startup ideas take center stage.

ABB is proud to be part of this journey for the third year in a row, because when it comes to shaping the future, we run what runs the world.
