How the competition works

When it comes to innovation, simple ideas lead to big wins. Sometimes simple changes in code can redefine the networks of the future. Sometimes a small group of dreamers can change the way humanitarian efforts operate around the world. Now is your time to apply your ideas and really have an impact. Whatever you do decide, you’ll have the opportunity to excel. In addition to the prize of taking part, you’ll also be receiving the invaluable coaching of Ericsson experts that will help you develop your idea into a clear business case. See how the competition works below and register your idea!
