Teams will have up to 3 minutes for their presentation on the Demo day. This will be followed by a 2-minute Q&A session with our panel of judges. The award categories and prizes will be detailed on our homepage.

Teams will be evaluated on several criteria, including innovation, commercial potential, project completeness (call to action!), team dynamics, and presentation quality. Each criterion has a specific weightage, and the evaluation scale ranges from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent).
