CompSA is a two-day competition in Budapest, taking place on November 28-29 at evosoft Hungary Headquarters, designed to challenge students to address complex issues in sustainable agriculture. The event encourages innovative thinking, with the potential for participants to develop startup ideas from their solutions. The competition welcomes 25 teams (up to 100 participants), providing meals and coffee breaks throughout.
What to expect
- Day 1: Teams of up to four participants will brainstorm on a given topic and submit a short documentation of their solution. The jury will review and rank the teams based on creativity, feasibility, and logical thinking.
- Day 2: New information related to the challenge will be introduced, which teams must integrate into their solutions. In an elevator pitch, they will present the revised solution, giving them a chance to improve their ranking. By noon, the top 6 teams will be selected to compete in the final round. In the final, each team will give a 10-minute presentation, and the jury will select the winners based on these pitches.
