The I2S is one of three competitions at Georgia Tech that are intended to specifically encourage creativity in product design, the application of technology for new products and services, and technology entrepreneurship.
The I2S competition focuses on very early stage product/service ideas or venture concepts that aim to create a better world. All great ventures and organizations begin with great ideas. The I2S is a competition of ideas; where creativity, imagination, and technology are applied to:
- Solving community and social issues (for example reducing the effects of poverty, alleviating hunger, promoting physical and psychological health and wellness); and/or
- Sustaining our environment (for example improved water management, improved air and water quality, reduction of the rate of depletion of natural resources, developing alternate sources of energy).

Socially & Environmentally Responsible Value Enhancement
Teams must develop a brief executive summary of their idea, including its technological and “market” feasibility. The competition itself proceeds in two phases. The Preliminary Round will be a Poster Competition. The Final Round will be oral presentations. More details will be released as the competition draws closer.
