The competition lists some conditions, such as entrants should be between 18 and 25 years of age and they must have already started their own business or have drawn up a vision of innovative project idea.
The two selected winners will be invited to participate in ITU Telecom World 2015 that set to take place in Budapest, Hungary October 12-15, 2015.
