Jury Process
The European Young Innovators Jury is a rigorous two-stage selection process that ensures only the most impactful digital solutions advance. First, an Online Jury, running from August 13 to September 6, evaluates all nominated projects. The top contenders are then assessed by a panel of international experts during the Grand Jury, held in Vilnius, Lithuania, from September 22 to 25. This final stage, in partnership with the GovTech Baltic Leaders Conference, upholds WSA's commitment to transparency and excellence, selecting the most innovative digital solutions aligned with the UN SDGs.
Topics
- Ethical AI by Young Innovators
AI offers immense potential across all fields, potentially rivaling the impact of electricity. But what about the ethics? Who controls it? Join us to explore solutions from young entrepreneurs and hear insights from international experts on integrating AI to improve society and the environment. - Social Tech by Women
In social tech, women are catalysts for transformative change. They identify challenges, confront pain points, and take decisive action, using technology to deliver meaningful solutions. But are ventures founded by women inherently more sustainable and ethical? What implications does this hold for the future of startups and society? Meet young women who have launched social tech ventures and learn about their entrepreneurial journey. - European Cooperation through the WSA community
Europe confronts urgent challenges such as the rise of populist and Eurosceptic parties, inflation, and the conflict in Ukraine. Connect with peers from across Europe, exchange ideas, and build lasting professional friendships to shape a united and resilient Europe together!
