Samsung selects 100 teams in India for innovation, education challenge

South Korean consumer electronics major Samsung on Friday said it has selected 100 teams in India for the fifth edition of its nationwide innovation and education competition 'Samsung Solve for Tomorrow' initiative, with top four teams slated to receive incubation grants worth Rs 2 crore.

The cohort includes young innovators from Buxar in Bihar, Kamrup in Assam to Kaithal in Haryana and Medchal-Malkajgiri in Telangana, the company said in a statement.

This year's top 100 reflects the changing geography of innovation in India.


Over half of the shortlisted teams come from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, underscoring how talent and entrepreneurial ambition are flourishing far beyond the country's largest metropolitan centres, it added.
