Description:
HES-23 will offer the Young Innovative Scientists/Professionals competition-based award and recognition program, seeking to encourage participation of young scientists in entrepreneurship, and to provide attractive offers and opportunities in the worldwide electrotechnology community.
We’re soliciting participants based on entrepreneurship opportunities in electrotechnology for this competition.

The presentations will be evaluated by an international team of electrotechnology professionals from both academia and industry and scored for originality, business opportunity, and presentation style.
