India’s most admired brand Samsung launched the inaugural edition of Solve for Tomorrow, a new youth-centric national education and innovation competition that invites India’s Youth to come up with innovative ideas that can transform the lives of people and communities around them. Samsung aims to provide support to youth in India aged 16-22 years from across cities, towns, and villages.

Once teams submit videos on their ideas and prototypes, a jury panel of experts from Samsung will select the top 10 teams that will also visit Samsung’s Headquarters in Gurugram, its R&D centers in Noida and Bengaluru and the world’s largest mobile experience centre at the iconic Opera House in Bengaluru where they will interact with young Samsung employees and researchers.
The annual program will end with the grand announcement of 3 national winners who stand a chance to win upto INR 1 crore and mentoring support for six months to take their ideas to the next level.
