Open Innovation

What is Open Innovation?

Open innovation is a concept where you can identify problems and frame your own problem statements. Through the respective domains given below, you can take on the most pressing problems without the constraint of an already mentioned problem statement. 

 

The way you frame your own statement is what makes your idea stand out. This may not be recommended to participants who are new to hackathons, and it may be more rational to choose a problem statement within the given set. However, this will be of great advantage when you have a total picture on the problem you have chosen.

​

You can choose from the domains below. Multiple domains for a single problem can also be selected, if required.

Please mention all the domain IDs that your problem subordinates to in the abstract.
