Eagle Innovation APP Competition (APPCOM) is an application idea Competition, designed to solicit the best APP ideas from the greater USI community and connect those ideas to teams, mentors, and resources to develop APP ideas with the potential to effect job creation in Southwest Indiana.
What We Do
APPCOM is an application idea competition designed to develop talent, grow our vibrant innovation community, and solicit the best APP ideas from the greater USI community and connect those ideas to teams, mentors, and resources to develop APP ideas with the potential to create jobs in Southwest Indiana.
How It Works
Ten APP idea submissions have been chosen by a panel of judges to move to the semi-final round. APPCOM has provided these 10 semifinalists with $250 and supplies to prepare for this expo-style pitch to gauge interest in their APP; up to 5 finalists will be selected based on this simulation.ÃÂ
The finalists will continue to develop their APP ideas, supported by workshops and mentors, for a final presentation. There will be 2 teams selected by expert judges as winners of cash and other prizes. USI will contribute $15K toward prize money ($10K for 1st place and $5K for 2nd).ÃÂ
We Need You!
We will be giving you MONEY when you arrive. (Not real money…we’re not crazy) After the pitches you will be able to visit each team and decide how to “invest” your money. Your “investment” will help decide which teams move forward to the finals in February.
