WeTech Technovation Teams
WeTech, in partnership with Technovation, offered the Technovation Challenge to 60 middle and high schools students in Bangalore, India. The girls were mentored by 24 team leads from Goldman Sachs and Qualcomm for over 12 weeks, starting in February 2014. Each team identified a problem in their community and designed a mobile app to address the issue. They also created business plans to develop their entrepreneurial skills and presented their prototypes through demo videos. All teams have submitted their app ideas and business plan for the world global event scheduled for June 18, 2014 in San Francisco Bay Area.

THANK YOU! We’d like to express our appreciation for the team leads and other staff members at
Goldman Sachs and Qualcomm who facilitated the Technovation Challenge. The outstanding mentorship and long hours put in by the team leads was critical in guiding
the girls and transforming app ideas into impressive prototypes supported with business plans and video pitches. Several staff members helped with important logistics and tech
support to ensure seamless execution of the team sessions.
On behalf of WeTech, we would also like to honor the dedication and support of the parents, school principals and teachers.
Thank You all for your involvement in and commitment to guiding and inspiring the
next generation of female tech leaders!
