India’s most admired brand Samsung launched the inaugural edition of Solve for Tomorrow, a new youth-centric national education and innovation competition that invites India’s Youth to come up with innovative ideas that can transform the lives of people and communities around them. Samsung aims to provide support to youth in India aged 16-22 years from across cities, towns and villages.
Support will include mentoring of the top 50 teams by industry experts and the Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi to help enhance their ideas, along with a boot camp at IIT Delhi, a certificate of participation and vouchers worth INR 100,000 for online courses in design thinking, STEM, innovation, leadership, among others. Once teams submit videos on their ideas and prototypes, a jury panel of experts from Samsung will select the top 10 teams that will also visit Samsung’s
Headquarters in Gurugram, its R&D centers in Noida and Bengaluru and the world’s largest mobile experience center at the iconic Opera House in Bengaluru where they will interact with young Samsung employees and researchers. The annual program will end with the grand announcement of 3 national winners who stand a chance to win up to INR 1 crore and mentoring support for six months to take their ideas to the next level. Winning teams will also get an 85-inch Samsung Flip interactive digital board for their respective schools and colleges. Participants can apply and get detailed information on the program and terms and conditions on the website starting June 09, 2022 till 5 pm, July 31, 2022.
