Generally, the participants retain ownership of the intellectual property rights to the ideas, concepts, and creations they bring to the hackathon. However, the participants should understand and agree that the organisers may showcase their submissions, including any related materials, presentations, and demonstrations, during or after the hackathon for promotional or educational purposes.
Make It Challenges places a strong emphasis on three (3) crucial aspects of problem solving: ideation, validation, and articulation.
Following the completion of the Make It Challenge, participants have the opportunity to continue their collaboration with Sunway iLabs or their individual mentors in order to further refine their ideas. This includes activities such as assessing market size, developing a robust business model, creating prototypes, conducting pilot trials to verify product effectiveness, and more. Funding for these development efforts is available through the development fund from Sunway Group, subject to approval.
If the participants successfully validate their business case, they can explore the possibility of receiving additional support and funding for venture building. This can enable them to transform their ideas into startup ventures with the backing of Sunway Group. Alternatively, participants may also have the opportunity to leverage on the expertise and resources of Sunway Group’s 13 business units for commercialisation purposes.
The specifics of intellectual property ownership, as well as potential staff incentives or commissions, will be separately negotiated with the management of Sunway.
Please note that the aforementioned opportunities and arrangements are subject to approval and further discussion with the relevant stakeholders at Sunway Group.
