U21 and PwC Middle East announce the 2022 winners of their Innovation Challenge

That’s the hope behind the U21 and PwC Innovation Challenge, which brings together graduate students from across U21’s membership network of 28 universities across the world. Originally set up to encourage post-graduate students to engage with real-world challenges, the 2022 competition asked students to examine sustainability in business practices. Now in its fourth year, the Innovation Challenge aims to encourage international collaboration in higher education and to provide students just embarking on their careers with a global networking opportunity.

The U21 and PwC Innovation Challenge has two parts. The first is made up of an individual question that participating students must tackle and distill into a three-minute video response for the judging panel. Successful finalists from phase one were then grouped into international teams and given further tasks before pitching a team response back to the panel.

The winning team included: Sarah Arsalan of McMaster University in Canada, Yuqing Liu from the National University of Singapore, Olaoluwa Ogunseun of the University of Connecticut in the United States and Likitha Silapurem of the University of Melbourne in Australia.
