With our invention of the automobile, we moved the world for the first time and since then have relentlessly followed our passion to re-invent mobility!
After a series of successful student engagement projects and hackathons, Mercedes-Benz continues to stay invested in exclusive formats for enabling young talents in the academia to contribute with their innovative ideas and amazing technical solutions to fulfill real-world mobility demands.
Mercedes-Benz Digital Challenge, India - 2019 is yet another initiative to embrace the spirit of Innovation in the student fraternity across India. This challenge is jointly organized by Mercedes-Benz India, Pune and Mercedes-Benz Research & Development India, Bangalore and supported by DigitialLife@Daimler, Germany
This challenge is unique in more ways than one.
Breaking the 24-hour stereotype, budding engineers will have 6 weeks to ideate, provide their solution approach and implement those ideas. This will ensure the high quality of the deliverables.
Further, students do not have only a few minutes to “pitch” their idea. Breaking the second stereotype, the finalist teams will be invited to Mercedes-Benz Res. & Dev. India (MBRDI), Bangalore campus and have a full day to demo their solution, interact with experts and get suggestions from them.
In addition to the lucrative cash awards, chosen few finalist individuals to stand a chance to take part and present their solution in a grand tech symposium in Europe or visit the epicenter of automotive development in Germany - Stuttgart with a fully sponsored trip by DigitialLife Campus from Daimler. Further, the top teams will have a chance to be part of Auto Expo 2020 in New Delhi. Not to forget, if we find any of the ideas patentable and relevant, we will file the patent with the involved students as the co-inventors.
This challenge will provide a unique prospect to budding engineers of the country to co-create the future of mobility together with Mercedes-Benz and Daimler.
We invite you to make the most it and build the future of mobility together!
