Students for a Smarter Planet competition
Description

Students for a Smarter Planet is the first of its kind, global 'industry-student' endeavour, focused on the theme of creating a smarter planet. It is led and managed by students with guidance and support from IBM. At universities students will work to make their local communities smarter through community service and partnerships. Students for a Smarter Planet seeks to educate those on campus about the important social, environmental, and technological issues facing our planet and to develop and implement innovative solutions in order to have a real & meaningful impact on our communities and the world around us.

Come and join us in this event co-organized by the Technology Innovation & Entrepreneurship Center (TIEC), the Office of Innovation Support at Cairo University and IBM, to learn about:
- What is Smarter Planet/Smarter City
- How to create a WING for "Students for a Smarter Planet" at your University/Faculty/Department
- How to propose a team project and apply for a mini grant from IBM and TIEC to conduct it ( up to 25 K LE ) .
- How to benefit from a wealth of resources available, for free, from IBM to students
