    Innovation means creating something new, better, or more impactful—whether it’s a product, service, business model, or system. It’s about identifying problems, designing creative solutions, and delivering those solutions sustainably to the people who need them. This competition emphasizes value creation: your solution should have a clear delivery plan, a defined target audience, and a model for generating revenue or sustaining impact.
