Have an idea that helps brands better understand consumers? Want to support the creation of the solutions of the future? This is your chance to make a difference.
Imagined and organized by GreenBook, the Insight Innovation Competition helps budding entrepreneurs bring disruptive ideas to life, while connecting brands to fresh and untapped sources of competitive advantage through deeper consumer understanding.
Let yourself get excited, find inspiration, and have fun! Submit your game changing business idea now:
Submissions and voting are now open and will run through December 18, 2013.
In this fourth round, we’re giving new innovators the opportunity to submit their concepts for a crowdsourced round of voting. Past participating companies have seen their businesses accelerate due to their involvements in the Insight Innovation Competition, resulting in funding, partnerships, new clients, and global brand exposure.
The Insight Innovation Competition is collaborating with the Lowe’s Innovation Lab to help competition entrants gain awareness within a broad consortium of global brands.
All participating companies will be vetted for inclusion in the Lowe’s Innovation Lab program. Selected participants will gain guaranteed organic funding through pilot programs with program partner companies, as well as access to acceleration resources for marketing, strategy, finance, and business development.
“The Lowe’s Innovation Lab is thrilled to be partnering with the Insight Innovation Competition as one of our primary channels for identifying innovative companies that could be candidates for the Lab. We and our consortium of brand partners count on IIeX in general and the Competition specifically to help us stay abreast of emerging companies and finding new opportunities to help them grow and succeed.” – Kyle Nel, Head of Lowe’s Innovation Labs at Lowe’s Home Improvement
On February 19, 2014, as part of Insight Innovation eXchange Europe 2014, the finalists will present their concepts to a panel of judges comprised of sponsors of the competition in a live event. Each presentation will last 15 minute: 10 minutes to pitch and 5 minutes for Q&A from the judges.
Using a 10-point scale for each category, judges rate each presentation on:
After the presentations are complete, we’ll poll the audience on which pitch was best and factor the vote score into the judge scores.
On February 20, 2014 we’ll reveal the scores. The highest final score wins. The winner takes home the pot and chooses which of the judges they would like to engage with afterwards as a mentor.
