The finalists now have time until 22 May to further elaborate their ideas. In the “Solution Development” category, the idea is to be presented as a Minimum Viable Product. In “Concept and Design Creation”, a tangible prototype is required.
On 1 June 2022, all finalists are invited to present their solutions to the grand jury at Telekom’s headquarters in Bonn and show them in the accompanying exhibition.
