In my sophomore year, I was honored to be accepted into the European Innovation Academy (EIA), the world’s largest student entrepreneurship competition, co-organized by Stanford University, UC Berkeley, Google, and other internationally renowned universities and companies. The 2024 event was held at the School of Economics, University of Porto, Portugal, and required participants to create a complete startup proposal that could impress investors within three weeks. During the process, I formed a multinational team with partners from the Netherlands, the United States, and Estonia. Together, we developed a minimum viable product for a smart bicycle tail light, which uses multiple sensors to detect the environment in real time, alerting riders and ensuring road safety.
