The ITU is organizing the second edition of the Young Innovators Competition that offers young and talented social technopreneurs aged between 18 and 26 years the opportunity to present their ideas to industry leaders on a global stage at ITU Telecom World 2013 in Bangkok, Thailand, on 19 -22 November.

Ten winning finalists will be selected to attend this event, where they will benefit from in-depth mentoring from leading industry representatives, take part in pitching and workshop sessions, demonstrate their projects on the showfloor and have the chance to win seed money of up to USD 5,000 in the Concept category and up to USD 10,000 in the start-up category to fund their initiatives.

The TRA fully supports this ITU initiative and encouraged young technopreneurs to present innovative solutions which can make an impact on our country and the world by improving people’s lives through the usage of connected technologies (ICTs). The TRA engaged a direct awareness campaign by promoting the project in Universities and through a radio and a social media campaign.
