Inteli Project Partners

Bring us a real-world challenge. Receive up to 5 working prototypes.

Companies, NGOs, and public institutions submit business challenges to Inteli’s Project Office. Over a 10-week cycle, a class of students and their professors will work to understand the problem at hand and deliver solutions built using the latest technologies on the market, as well as tailored to the specific challenge.

Why Become a Project Partner with Inteli

Inteli’s model is 100% project-based. This means that your organization’s real-world challenge isn’t just a side project—it becomes the focus of the class’s learning throughout the entire module.

A dedicated group of students, guided by teachers with real-world industry experience, understands the context, defines the scope, and develops the solution in sprints.

At the end of the 10 weeks, your organization will receive up to 5 working prototypes to evaluate and test internally.

Accelerated validation: You test a product or process hypothesis in 10 weeks, exploring five different paths in parallel. It’s sprint time, not budget cycle time.

No financial commitment: The partnership requires no investment. The commitment is your team’s time: approximately 20 hours from a designated contact person over the course of 10 weeks, spread across 7 on-campus meetings.

Access to talent: Direct contact with students who will hold technical and leadership positions in the coming years. Many partners use the program as a gateway to internships and recruitment.

Recurrence: A partner can propose new challenges each cycle, across different courses and modules, depending on the type of problem they want to solve.

How to Submit

The Project Call for Proposals is how Inteli informs the market about which project openings are available. The initiatives are evaluated and selected by the Project Office, in accordance with the rules of the call for proposals, on a continuous basis.

Submission: You can describe the business challenge using the form on our website or by contacting the EP (Project Office) team.

Evaluation: The Project Office reviews the initiative and determines which module it best fits into.

Partnership Agreement: Once the initiative is selected, the partner signs the agreement. There is no cost and no procurement process.

Kickoff and development: 10 weeks of work in sprints, with 7 on-campus meetings between the class and their point of contact.

Deliverables: Final presentation and up to 5 functional prototypes made available for the partner’s use.

The project modules are cyclical and take place annually during the corresponding quarters. Review the portfolio below to identify which module addresses your challenge.
