What is the InCube Challenge?

The InCube Challenge is a two-week-long innovation challenge that consists of three parts: PrepCube, OutCube and InCube. During PrepCube you will meet the other participants online for the first time. During OutCube you will come to Switzerland and have a retreat to train and bond with the others. During InCube you will live with your team for 5 days inside a glass Cube in one of the Cube locations around the world and solve the challenge.

Testimonials

Participating in the InCube challenge was an immensely exhilarating experience that I will always cherish. The experience taught me the value of empathy towards both the people and the problem at hand.

Mayank Garg

Aveniq Cube 2022

The experience itself was really enriching, both the weekend in Crans Montana and the Incube itself. There I had the opportunity to meet amazing and fun people, above all allowed me to learn about the culture in South Africa, as that year there was a cube there.

Lluís Pastor Pérez

Hilti Cube 2021

In case you were wondering, yes… it is as cool as it sounds. Actually… it is even more! InCube is not only a competition: it it is stepping out of your comfort zone.

Chiara Bertoglio

Roche x IQVIA Cube 2022

So many great memories. It feels like I experienced two years in two weeks! Working and living in a glass cube with 4 strangers for 5 days was intense and exciting, but most of all it was a life lesson.

Nektarios Totikos

Roche x IQVIA Cube 2022

InCube is an experience where in a short time, you walk out as a changed person. Since then, I have continuously been seeking discomfort. it is an experience that is absolutely transformational and worth the shot.
