About the “Ideas to Serve” Competition

The I2S competition is for current Georgia Tech students and recent alumni who have a very early stage product/service idea or venture concept that is focused on creating a better world.

All great ventures and organizations begin with great ideas. Therefore, I2S is primarily a competition of ideas, where creativity, imagination, and technology are applied to solving some of society’s most challenging social and environmental problems.

For the competition, student teams might design a product or service that focuses on reducing the effects of poverty, alleviating hunger, promoting health and wellness, improving air and water quality, or developing alternate sources of energy, to name a few.
