2011 is the 10th year of the ITU Youth Forums! ITU has a different style of competition for this year's YF, and I hope you help us spread the word about it. The website has been launched (but it does not have all info yet):
http://world2011.itu.int/ young-innovators
I have also attached the competition's outline. Brief from the website as follows:
YOUNG INNOVATORS
Are you 18-25 years old?
Are you a digital entrepreneur bursting with ideas?
Do you want to use your knowledge and skills to make the world a better place?
Do you need resources so you can turn your seed idea into reality?
Come up with a seed idea, design innovative connected products. Winners will have the chance to pitch to world leaders and win seed funding.
Seed ideas should realistic, achievable and relevant to the UN's Millennium Development Goals:
- alleviating poverty and hunger (including smart agriculture)
- improving education for all
- addressing gender inequality
- access to health care
- environmental sustainability
....or addressing universal accessibility challenges?
NB: The competition is actively seeking female, unemployed and disabled talent
Entries will be judged on innovation, feasibility (technically/cost) and applicant experience (ability to deliver).
To find out more, please email (itutelecom@itu.int ) with QS INNOCOMP YOUNG INNOVATORS in the subject line.
Spread the word!
Best regards,
Cathy
