The Labzone is one of the areas that make up the TegCampus. It is a competition space, where the participants have a defined time (4 days in the case of this edition) to develop a software or hardware project based on themes and challenges defined by the organization. The Labzone is designed for young innovators concerned with solving social problems and needs through technological solutions.
