National University Contest Launch
Registrations are now officially open for the first-ever Accelera National University Contest, a groundbreaking competition designed to celebrate innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit among students.
Participants gain national visibility by presenting their ideas in front of industry leaders, investors, and policymakers. This recognition not only validates their work but also opens doors to partnerships and career opportunities.
Beyond the competition, students attend workshops, mentoring sessions, and coaching programs. They learn how to pitch, manage projects, and apply innovative thinking — skills that strengthen their employability and entrepreneurial potential.
Winning teams access scholarships, seed funding, and internship placements with leading companies. Even non-winners benefit from the networking and exposure, which can lead to freelance projects, startup collaborations, or global opportunities.
