Ideathon - Seoul

The San Francisco Company, a humanitarian organization, is launching a series of Ideathons globally. These gatherings aim to inspire teams to address a surprise challenge, offering complimentary patenting services as an incentive. The challenges focus on pressing needs within the humanitarian sector. Teams are encouraged to possess a mix of skills or deep expertise to devise effective solutions. Participants can utilize computers and phones during the sessions, which last for a maximum of three hours. Teams have the flexibility to submit their solutions at any time before the deadline and may leave the session once they complete their work.

A panel of experts in the relevant fields will judge the submissions, and winners will be announced via email three weeks following the Ideathon. Recognized winners will be invited for a photo session and medal presentation, with their achievements shared across various media platforms.

Individuals of all ages and diverse backgrounds are invited to participate. When a team includes participants under 18, at least one guardian must accompany them, with guardians required to secure their entry.

A coversheet for a fillable worksheet will be provided to assist teams in structuring their product idea submissions during the Ideathon.
