What counts as an idea
If it makes work better, it counts.
Think about your own day, your clients and your colleagues. The theme is deliberately broad.

How we work, what we offer, or how we look after clients.
AI is a tool. Not the theme.

Ideas from anyone, across DMS, Translation and Transcription.

Absolutely. If a good idea needs extra skills, we bring them in.
Yes. AI and digital tools can be part of an idea in any pillar, but they're not required. Process, service, revenue and workplace ideas all count.
Yes. If you came up with it together, add both names when you submit.
Submissions are reviewed by the CoLab review panel. Shortlisted ideas are then shared with mentors and teams in the next stages.
From 27 to 29 Oct, the review panel looks at every submission and shortlists around 10 ideas. Cost, revenue and effort are considered at this stage, not before.
Teams are announced on Fri, 30 Oct and each team is assigned a mentor. Teams develop their solutions from 2 to 4 Nov and showcase them at the Grand Finale on Thu, 5 Nov.
Not necessarily. Shortlisted teams showcase their solutions together, and each team decides who presents.
Yes. Similar ideas from different people show the problem is real, and your angle might be the one that unlocks it.
Got a problem worth solving?
Share it. You don't need the solution yet, just the problem and why it matters.
