"I had a great experience. I had set an itinerary that really broadened the experience for me. I got to meet with the other award winners from around the world. We attended the opening ceremony and got to hear Multiple industry leaders answer good questions about the future of mobility in Europe. I have nothing to compare to the scale of this convention: it was large. It had thousands of vendors with new and experimental technology. I can’t list a favorite thing but there was no shortage of cool stuff. We had access to guided tours and VIP tickets that not only acted as a train ticket for all of Berlin but also granted us access to the business lounges and guided tours. I got to experience almost everything. I recommend to any future students trying to get in the industry: do it now, we want people who are interested."

• Flight or train round trip ticket - Economy Class
• Hotel accommodation in Berlin for max. four nights
• VIP card for InnoTrans (four days)

• Daily travel allowance
