<p><strong>About
the “Ideas to Serve” Competition</strong></p>



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



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



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