Short listed candidates will pitch their ideas via an online platform in front of a Jury of experts in the different fields of their innovation. They will respond to questions of the jury members, who will evaluate their ideas and select the most innovative and appropriate to benefit from the workshop.
In June, 3-4 finalists will be prepared for the finale event through training on marketing and pitching their prototypes/products to a wider audience by marketing and communication experts.
