5G TechTitans Challenge: Solving the next generation of connection

Entrepreneurs designing 5G-enabled solutions now can get feedback, recognition and $5K from Tech Titans and enterprise companies on the cutting edge. In a new Grand Challenge, entrepreneurs submit an application which will be judged by representatives of major technology companies, such as AT&T, Argent Associates, Axxess, Cisco, Ericsson, Nokia, and 2thedge. The selected solutions will be showcased for a live/virtual pitch in front of a larger audience of companies wanting to expand their reach into these markets. Pitching companies can be located anywhere in the United States, and do not have to be Tech Titans members. Deadline for applications to be submitted is 5 p.m. (CT) Aug. 24.

The selected solution(s) will demonstrate how 5G can enable risk-free interactions during this time of uncertainty and pandemics. The 5G-enabled technology can benefit work, life, education or health. Entrepreneurs, start-ups, and small and minority/women (MBE/WBE)-certified technology companies should be pre-revenue to revenue less than $2 million. There is no cost to participate. Pitching companies can be located anywhere in the United States, and do not have to be Tech Titans members. Deadline for applications to be submitted is 5 p.m. (CT) Aug. 24.

Awardees will receive:

  • A minimum cash award of $5K
  • An invitation at the Tech Titans Awards Gala on Oct. 23
  • Enterprise-level mentoring that could include access to technology resources and potential customers/partners
  • Introductions to funding resources

The hope is that the entrepreneur/start-up will receive some form of:

  • Technology licensing
  • Funding
  • Customer/supplier relationships
  • Strategic partnerships
  • Other business relationships
