Themes
Stage 2 focuses on the themes provided by our sponsors but also considers open applications for upcoming competitions. For example, to be applicable for the theme specified, the focus of your business should be on solving problems in today’s theme specific ecosystem. This could be a digital platform to book a doctor appointment, a pre-cooked meal plan for ill people, or whatever you can come up with.
Do not be discouraged if you can not find a theme your business fits in. Still, you can submit an open application. Once we have the application, we will get in touch with you to discuss the next steps.
