The Young Innovation Competition, an annual event of the ITU Telecom, has opened for applications.
ITU Telecom, the arm of ITU that organizes event and competitions, announced in a post on its website, that it is looking for young social entrepreneurs who can use technology creatively to solve a range of real-time developmental challenges.
“The challenge will give room to young people around the world to self-empower people in their communities through entrepreneurship.” says ITU Telecom.
Entry is exclusive to individuals from ITU member states; pretty much every country in the world. They must be between ages 18 and 30, currently running a startup or have a concept/ idea for one yet unborn.
Two winners will be invited to join in ITU Telecom World 2015 in Budapest, Hungary in October, a higher platform where they will pitch their ideas, participate in workshops, receive seed funding, and benefit from a year of ongoing mentorship.
