The Ericsson Innovation Awards 2016 are now open for registration!

On this occasion we’d like extend a formal invitation to UTECH UNIVERSITY in Jamaica to participate in the annual Ericsson Innovation Awards.

The theme for this year’s competition is “The Future of City Life.” Today, more people live in cities than in rural areas, and by 2050, about 70 percent of the world’s population is expected to reside in urban areas. How can we ensure our cities are creative, connected and sustainable? How can we improve the lives of billions and the future of our planet?

In Ericsson's vision of the Networked Society, technology fundamentally transforms the ways we organize our lives, businesses and societies. Empowered by technology, students and progressive teachers are catalysts for fundamental change. New skills and the passion for constant learning are becoming increasingly important. A new ecosystem is emerging that is greatly impacting, and in some cases redefining, established systems and institutions.

The Ericsson Innovation Awards 2016 is a great opportunity for students to be the drivers of fundamental change in society. We invite your students to register by November 30 and compete in the Ericsson Innovation Awards.

Team requirements:

• Teams must consist of 2-4 people

• All team members must currently be students

• Submissions must be made in English

Prizes are as follows:

• 1st place: EUR 25,000

• 2nd place: EUR 15,000

• 3rd and 4th places: EUR 1,000

All semi-finalists and finalists will also be given the opportunity to interview for internship or permanent employment at Ericsson.

The deadline for team registration is November 30, 2015. Other key dates are as follows:

• December 18, 2016: Semi-finalists announced

• February 12, 2016: Last date for innovation submission

• February 19, 2016: Finalists announced

• March 2016: Grand Finale and awards ceremony (date to be announced; finalists will travel to Sweden for event)

With this email, we have included posters that may be printed and/or distributed to your contacts, as well as a presentation outlining the competition and online banners that can be used to promote the competition in your digital communications (such as websites or emails). Students will also be able to view an on-demand presentation on the competition, after which they will have the opportunity to send in and receive responses to any questions they may have. (A separate email will be forthcoming with details.) Find out more about the competition and register online at www.ericsson.com/innovationawards.
