An incredible amount of contestants from 53 different countries submitted ideas for this year’s challenge and the twenty finalists are currently working on developing their solutions to present to our panel of judges this May.
But who are the judges behind the scenes deciding who moves forward in this final stage? To identify the best ideas and teams with the ideal fit to the strategic needs of our companies, we have set up a diverse jury with domain expertise.
Grand Jury
Our Grand Jury consists of ten members equally divided by top managers from T-Mobile US and Deutsche Telekom AG. They will judge the final presentations during the demo day on May 23, 2023 and award six winners the grand prize.
