National Competition and Selection of Winners
All finalists will be requested to make presentations to the public and to the Board of Jurors through the Exhibit/Knowledge Forum. A common format, guide questions and templates for the session will be prepared. This will be the last phase of the jury process. The forum will also be an opportunity for networking and exchange of ideas on the theme. Each finalist will be given a booth where they can present their innovations and talk to interested parties.
The Board of Jurors comprised of leading individuals in development will evaluate and deliberate on the winning proposals based on the assessment criteria. The Board will then announce their decision at the end of the event.
