DARE TO DREAM.
Valeo is offering young engineers worldwide the opportunity to create the equipment that will make cars more intelligent and intuitive by 2030. Comprising teams of two to five people, engineering students can take part by presenting a relevant, innovative project in English. The aim is to stimulate the students’ creativity, enabling them to form multidisciplinary teams. In this way, engineering students can join forces with students in the social sciences or any other scientific discipline that they think could be useful for their innovation project.

Do not limit yourselves.The Valeo Innovation Challenge is part of Valeo’s innovation strategy, supported by the company’s annual Research and Development budget of over €1 billion. Innovation drives faster growth at Valeo, a technological partner to all automakers worldwide.

The competition invites students from engineering, technology and science schools and universities worldwide to take an active role in automobile innovation. Their task is to come up with automotive solutions that will make cars smarter and more intuitive by 2030. The students will be asked to develop bold, revolutionary solutions for the communities of tomorrow.
The contest serves to demonstrate that innovation is part of Valeo's DNA and that Research & Development are a priority for the company. This strategy guides the work of Valeo's 9,000 engineers, who innovate daily to invent the car of tomorrow.
Valeo plans to hire more than 1,000 engineers and technicians a year over the next three years and wants to make students aware of the challenges offered by professions in the automotive industry.
Projects will be judged on the following criteria :

The stuff is supposed to be meant for undergrads. So far, no one has shown interest. Fortunately, I am not an undergrad, but I am willing to provide technical support for whoever has interest.

Faculty of engineering, Uniben already has an automobile design and fabrication group sponsored by shell JV.. I will try and pass the information to them that is if they have not gotten it already. They have successfully created the Eco -tuketuke and Eco cruise.

You can still join. Just find a bunch of egg heads engineering students, then act as team manager, maybe interior decorator, errand woman, something anything.

Hopefully, one day, we'll get our priorities right.
