BE A
PARTNER

Partners ensure the championship remains accessible and impactful by providing direct financial contributions. This role extends beyond simply "providing money"—it means investing in national talent development. Partner funds help to:

• i.Subsidize participation costs for students and startups so talented pupils/students and students/UNIVERSITIES can participate.
• ii.Cover logistics like venues, digital platforms, travel allowances, and prizes.
• iii.Enable the championship to scale from national to regional/global impact in future editions.

Not every partner's contribution needs to be cash. Partners can also support with what they are already best at. This ensures that the Championship is resource-rich and practical, giving participants access to real-world tools.

• i.Technology companies can provide software licenses, servers, or gadgets for competition use.
• ii.Telecom providers can give internet/data bundles for participants.
• iii.Educational institutions can provide venues, labs, or expert trainers.
• iv.Corporate organizations can donate equipment, branded merchandise, or professional services.

Partners can also play a mentoring and knowledge role. They can:

• i.Deliver workshops, masterclasses, and bootcamps in areas like entrepreneurship, coding, design thinking, business pitching or any other relevant and relatable topic.
• ii.Provide mentors and judges who bring credibility and industry relevance.
• iii.Share case studies and challenges from their industries, allowing participants to solve real problems, not hypothetical ones.

As partners, organizations don't just sponsor, they shape. They can:

• i.Sit on the Advisory Board of the Championship to guide direction, ensure alignment with industry trends, and maximize societal impact.
• ii.Advise on competition design so events mirror real challenges in business, technology, agriculture, engineering, and the arts.
• iii.Help set judging criteria to ensure fairness, professionalism, and industry relevance.

Partners can also play a promotional role by:

• i.Using their networks, platforms, and media connections to amplify visibility.
• ii.Co-branding campaigns that highlight both the Championship and the partner's commitment to innovation.
• iii.Positioning themselves as industry leaders who support future-ready skills and entrepreneurs.

One of the biggest partner roles is talent discovery. Partners:

• i.Observe participants closely to spot potential hires, interns, or collaborators.
• ii.Access an exclusive pool of skilled, innovative, and ambitious young people.
• iii.Offer incubation or acceleration opportunities to standout startups.
