FAQ

No, there is no application fee. HITLAB does not take equity from winners or participants, and there is no fee to accept prizes. There is no cost to innovators for applying or participating.

Each finalist will be allotted 5-6 minutes for their presentation, and an additional 3 minutes for questions from the judges. Finalists will be judged on feasibility, scalability, impact, novelty, and sustainability.
