We’re all for challenging the norm in our ambition to create sustainable places that Reinvent Being Together.

The challenge of this year’s edition of the URWxHEC Paris Hackaton? Designing an original experiential concept for a 3,500 sqm space.

60 students from HEC Paris spent 2 days at our Paris Headquarters delving into sustainable ways to tackle this year’s challenge while being coached by experts from both HEC Paris and Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield. At the end of which they pitched their ideas to a jury.

Our teams were excited to hear the thought-provoking and innovative ideas this year’s candidates came up with - and did they deliver remarkably!

One idea hit the mark: congratulations to the winning team - Sarah Guigui, Helena Vandendriessche, Guillaume de Monclin, Marion Ullard, Estelle Marti, Guillaume Blaise, Luca Bergantino and Silvia Sanchez - and their impressive “Chez Papi et Mamie” concept.

The URWxHEC Paris Hackathon, created in 2019 aims at developing open innovation within Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield by leveraging great ideas and creativity from students bold enough to share avant-garde, pioneering views on the Group's mixed-used and retail projects.
