Hutchinson hosted the first 24H of Innovation® with Hutchinson event at the 507 Fab House on September 15 and 16. The 507 Fab House is perfectly designed for this type of event, making it possible to foster creativity in a vibrant setting, with a series of activities and events throughout the 24 hours. This was a privileged moment for Hutchinson and its partners to gain fresh insights into their business issues, enabling new ideas to emerge.
On September 15, Dorine Bourneton, the world’s first disabled aerobatics pilot and the sponsor for this first 24H of Innovation® with Hutchinson event, launched the countdown at the 507 Fab House. She invited the students to make the impossible possible, embracing Hutchinson’s tagline - “We make it possible”.
