FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

You may submit as an individual OR as a team of up to 5 members. Both are accepted.

All videos must be presented in English. This ensures your innovation can be understood and fairly evaluated by our international panel of judges.

No — your innovation can be a physical product, a software app, a process improvement, or even a concept with a working prototype or model. What matters is that it solves a real problem.
