Driving awareness and engagement for entrepreneurial higher education
HEInnovate, a tool launched by the European Commission and OECD, helps higher education institutions assess their entrepreneurial and innovative potential through a self-assessment tool and learning resources. WAAT was tasked with revamping the website and communications to enhance user experience, expand functionality, and increase engagement.

Redesign the HEInnovate website to improve its interface, add new functionalities, and boost user interaction. Key goals included making self-assessments more accessible, providing instant, actionable feedback with supportive resources, and increasing awareness about the tool among the target base.
