Innovation is the only way to win!
It’s
time to think out-of-the box, push your creative boundaries and innovate now.
We truly believe that your innovation can redefine paths, re-shift paradigms
and make change happen for a better tomorrow. This monumental moment of
innovation can impact businesses and lives forever and unleash limitless
possibilities for everyone.
The
2021 Accenture Innovation Challenge springboards from the theme “Combining
Technology with Human Ingenuity for a better world”. It aims at
bringing together the essence of human ingenuity and the power of technology,
both of which culminate into that one moment and its unlimited outcomes.
As
an offshoot of this theme, we are encouraging participants to submit their
ideas for the following two Innovation categories:
Innovate for business
Develop
innovative business solutions, offering or a business model that disrupts the
market.
Innovate for society
Develop
innovative solutions by applying technology to help improve the way we work and
live and create value for our society.
Who Can Participate :
The
competition is open to all college students who are passionate about
technology.
