MDX Challenge 2023 is an exciting opportunity for your organisation to collaborate with Middlesex University Dubai’s Careers and Employability Services (CES) and the Middlesex Innovation Hub (MIH) to support the professional development of our students while using their skillsets to produce actionable ideas and solutions. This is a dynamic initiative aimed at equipping our students with practical experience in addressing real-world challenges, enhancing their employability skills, and connecting them with top employers. The challenge will take place during the Global Entrepreneurship Week, providing a unique platform for companies like yours to engage with students who are passionate about creating innovative solutions for strategic business challenges that you will have the opportunity to set.
What we expect from employers
- Challenge Definition: As a participating employer, we kindly request that you provide well-defined strategic challenges or real-world business problems that your organisation might currently be facing by the 10th of November 2023. These challenges should be sufficiently scoped to offer students a clear understanding of the issue, its relevance, and potential impact. Please use this link as a guide to provide more details about your business challenge.
- Judging and Evaluation: Your organisation will play a crucial role in evaluating the solutions proposed by student teams on the 24th of November 2023. This evaluation will be based on predetermined criteria, which may include innovation, feasibility, impact, and effectiveness in addressing the challenge. We will provide you with detailed judging guidelines and scoring rubrics to ensure a fair and consistent evaluation process.
- Feedback and Recognition: Following the evaluation, we encourage employers to provide constructive feedback to student teams. This feedback should highlight the strengths of their solutions and offer suggestions for improvement.
