The GIST Tech-I Competition is an annual competition which is designed specifically for science and technology entrepreneurs. These enterpreneurs should come from emerging economies worldwide.
Before now, interested entrepreneurs and innovators have submitted their ideas and startups on the portal, applications which were reviewed by past finalists from the same competition. Presently, everyone has a role to play as the portal to vote for your choice has been open since January 26th.
From January 26, 2018, every interested person will have the opportunity to watch the semi-finalist pitch videos, while also being enabled to vote for their favorite startup. You are at liberty to vote for your preferred semifinalist once a day, every day until February 22, 2018, when the voting portal closes. Vote here!
Meet the Semifinalists.
