The winner will get the chance to debate with 600 top global leaders and decision makers. The cash prize of amount 20,000 CHF (Swiss Franc) will be distributed among three winners and a recognization.
Your essay must be a professional, creative and thought-provoking containing the answer to this question:
Breaking the status quo; what's your disruptive idea? The notion of disruption captures today’s innovation zeitgeist. Nowadays, it seems everyone claims to be a disruptor - particularly young people with an entrepreneurial mindset. Let’s think beyond disruptive innovation in management and look at disruption more generally as something that breaks the status quo – be it in business, politics, science, or society. Pick one of these four fields you are most passionate about, identify a problem of greater magnitude and come up with a disruptive idea to solve it. Your idea must aspire to inspire top-notch leaders worldwide. Do not free ride on the buzzword “disruption” but rather be bold and develop a truly novel and radical concept to win our prestigious award.
