About the Summit
This track focuses on various efforts by students to create products and enterprises that address challenges in society. When well guided, students in high school and college, have potential to create user-centered, disruptive innovations that have the potential to impact people and society. This summit will include partner organisations that support students' innovations, faculty and teachers and the actual innovators. Selected students will have opportunities to pitch their work and be inspired by industry leading experts and partners.
