Oppo has announced its annual Inspiration Challenge to enable global entrepreneurs and technology professionals to bring solutions to everyone. The 2023 edition builds on Inspiration for People and the Planet, as the company is setting aside $440,000 for funding and grants.
Innovation enthusiasts are invited to launch their proposals until June 30th. The next two weeks will be devoted to the preliminary review and initial evaluation, followed by three regional demonstration events. Global finalists, 15 from around the world, will be invited by mid-August, with the final demo event and winners announced at the end of August.
The two categories in which candidates can compete are “Inspiration for People”, where innovative solutions for digital health and accessible technology are foreseen, or “Inspiration for the Planet”, which is the way forward for solutions for protection of the environment and low carbon emissions in line with Oppo’s promise to become carbon neutral by 2050.
The global top 15 will meet senior executives, Oppo investment and technology experts, and industry partners during the final round. Each of the top 5 winners will receive $50,000 as a grant, and there is also $190,000 awarded for an incubation fund that can be split across multiple solutions.
The main organizer is Oppo Research Institute, which collaborates with Qualcomm, GSMA 5G IN, Amazon Web Services, LinkedIn and Hello Tomorrow.
