Hi everyone,

Here we are again, to give you some more insights about how the prototyping phase of the Toygether plush toy proceeds!

After a very instructive feedback from the HAX accelerator, the team did not take a second to rest. All the critics have been taken into account, the most important one being that our prototype will need to be tested as soon as possible. In fact, our plush toy m […]

Feedback from Eric
On July 13th, the two business students could talk with Eric, Chinese entrepreneur, about the CORE project. It was a very rich experience as it was quite difficult to explain the project. They were explaining it first to Violet who was then translating to Eric and vice-versa. Eric gave a few advices and to resume, it was a grea […]
