The video can have you talking, a live app demo (if you have one), some cool animation, etc... whatever fits best.

You can find information about this at the Game Rules part.

As soon as we have the 8 finalist teams, we will ask them to prepare for the live pitch. They will have to present their ideas in 4 minutes and after each pitch there will be a quick Q&A session. This part aims to provide a closer insight into these solutions. In the interest of having a fair selection, we only take into consideration the votes of the registered teams’ and the mentor and jury members of Bosch since they will have the most relevant opinion and insight into the projects.

  • Teams, mentors and jury members will have to go to JunctionApp where they will see the finalists and choose their favorite. We will announce the grand winner as a summarized result of this voting method.
