If your project is selected, and you're located outside of Europe, you'll participate remotely in the OdiseIA4Good Connect Grand Final. During the weeks leading up to the Connect final, teams will have access to:
-
Personalized online mentoring to strengthen your idea.
-
Virtual workshops on social innovation, AI, and entrepreneurship.
-
Strategic guidance to help you reach the final with a solution ready to impact.
The grand final will be held the week after the in-person grand final in Madrid and will follow this schedule:
-
Virtual opening session with all Connect finalists.
-
Presentation of the elevator pitch to the jury and demonstration of the prototype via videoconference.
-
Jury question rounds.
Projects will be evaluated using the same criteria and weighting as in the in-person format. They will receive the same recognition and international prestige as in-person projects, although in a separate category.
Do you dare to participate?
What if your knowledge, creativity, or experience could change the lives of thousands of people?
