Ingenuity Cup 2023
The bi-annual competion demonstrating top ingenuity
WHAT IS THE INGENUITY CUP?
Breakthrough Innovation in 40 days
The Ingenuity Cup is a global innovation competition for those looking to create groundbreaking innovations in 40 days. The goal of the Ingenuity cup is to demonstrate to the world that innovation and ingenuity are one of humanity’s signature strengths. Moreover, innovation is never an accidental idea but the human ability to find a solution for every problem on demand.
DEFINE BREAKTHROUGH INNOVATION
A significant elevation in the way we do things
The first real innovation was about 12,000 years ago when humans began consciously engaging in agriculture and no longer just gathered what is out there. The most advanced hunting tool, bow & arrow was advanced further but farming was the breakthrough in feeding all humans on earth back then. A significant elevation through a major shift in conducting life.
Leveraging an existing data communication protocol (TCP/IP) and using natural language to make information visible through such a protocol (HTML) created the Internet. This innovation significantly elevated the way we communicate and learn.
Rethinking mobility and the urge of solving the problem of non-renewable energy led to electricity-powered machines. It elevated the way we move long distances not only on train tracks but also on roads. Electric energy is infinite in our universe. Harnessing this power is a significant elevation in the way we roam the earth and possibly more.
WHY PARTICIPATE?
To ensure each innovation team starts out with an equal opportunity, you and your team experience a one-week Deep Innovation Design Bootcamp hosted by BlueCallom. Throughout the 40 days, you are supported by an Innovation coach and provided with additional training focused on how leading “Unicorn” companies create their ideas. Finally, you and your team gain global exposure and attention when you present your idea to a panel of judges and a community of innovative minds during the Award Ceremony. Prizes and the opportunity to compete in the 2025 Space Award will be announced during the Award Ceremony.
