What’s in it for you as a startup?
Up to 10 companies will be shortlisted by March 2016, each of which will win $10,000 in prize money. That’s just the beginning. These companies will then be invited to the Qualcomm® Innovation Lab in Bangalore, where their ideas will be nurtured and incubated over six months.
