Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

5.1.5 Innovation challenge

Course subject(s) Module 5. Rethinking packaging

To develop an idea into a marketable product takes time and effort. In the following video Mirjam de Bruijn explains how she deals with making her product ready to sell.

MAIN TAKEAWAYS

  • You cannot do it alone. Find people to collaborate with to do the aspects you cannot do or don’t like to do yourself.
  • Arrange financial support, either within a company, by getting investors on board, or by winning prizes.
  • Keep your vision in mind and constantly check whether you’re still on track. If your product turns out to be unsustainable after all, be honest.
