Ideate in the Qualification Phase
With the start of the challenge, you'll have time to work on your idea, concept, or sketches. The deadline for the submission is on June 18, 2023 - 11.59 pm CEST. You can submit your approaches via this platform.
During the qualification phase, you can either work on an idea alone, with your friends/fellow students/colleagues or look for potential teammates via our team matching channel or our platform. Find more information on this in the FAQ tab.
If you want to learn the design thinking methodology while coming up with an idea for your participation you can join a Design Thinking Workshop during this phase. If you have any questions regarding the participation or the Challenge, you can join one of our weekly Q&A calls within the qualification phase.
Present your approach in the Idea Camp
In this year we decided to give out a wild card for the most popular solution. After the deadline, we will present the solutions' elevator pitches anonymously on the platform for you to vote. The solution with the most votings will be invited as one of the 10 semi-finalists to join the Idea Camp.
The announcements of the 10 half finalists, which will move on to the next round of the challenge, and who'll participate in the Idea Camp will take place on July 5 and 6, 2023.
The qualified semi-finalists will be invited by Samsung for an Idea Camp. If it is possible to conduct an event onsite, the costs for travel and accommodation will be covered. If you submit your idea, please make sure to block July 5 & July 6, 2023, in case you are chosen as a semi-finalist in the challenge.
At the event, you will attend various courses and workshops on the topic of Technology, Entrepreneurship, and Social Impact and meet exciting experts and thought leaders to lay the foundations for the further course of the elaboration phase.
To conclude you will present your approach to Samsung and a jury. Afterwards, the best five teams will be selected as finalists and advance to the elaboration phase.
Develop your idea in the Elaboration Phase
Following the Idea Camp, you will, based on concrete feedback and mission, develop your idea and business case into a more detailed solution and a great pitch that will be held at the final event. On this journey, you will work together with mentors from Samsung.
The concrete deadline for submitting your documents will be published during the qualification phase.
Let's Pitch at the Final Event
