With the call for applicants and challenger selection behind us, the online phase of the Sónar Innovation Challenge 2017 is now underway.
Outcome of the open call
We were thrilled by the quantity and quality of the applications we got, and want to thank all applicants for the effort they put into their applications. We unfortunately can select only 30 of you, and believe us when we say that the competition was fierce!
Online phase kickoff
The online phase officially started on May 2nd and will last until the 12th of June. During this time, each team of challengers will collaborate over the internet together with the mentors of their challenge in order to define their roles in the team, describe the team’s proposed solution, create a first prototype and prepare a work plan for the 4 intensive days of the on-site phase of the SIC that will take place from June 13th to June 16th.
During the online phase, you will be able to follow each team’s progress through their public page that will be published on this website within this week. In the meantime, here is the list of challengers and mentors for each challenge:
