KPMG IDEATION CHALLENGE 2021

Challenge what you think is possible

A student challenge like no other. The KPMG Ideation Challenge (KIC) is an experience designed to stretch your limits and challenge what you think is possible.

You'll get to generate a new idea that could change the world, create a prototype and then pitch it to business leaders.

 

 

Along the way you'll work with KPMG data scientists, coders, business specialists and tech gurus, who will help bring your idea to life.

If successful, you'll get the opportunity to take on teams from the rest of the world in the KIC International Finals and compete to win seed funding to take your idea to market

 

What do you bring to the table?

 

Taking an idea to market is no easy task. It takes a blend of skills and capabilities. We should know.

 

From advising to developing to executing, we do it day in and day out. So take it from us - the wider the range of skills in your team, the more powerful the thinking and more innovative the solutions.

 

For KIC, we create teams made up of different types of people.

 

We look for visionaires: people who think strategically about the big picture and who know

 

how to deliver rock solid business models, marketing and content strategy.

 

We look for techies, people who have skills in prototyping, testing and development.

We look for creative people, who can take an idea and make it work beautifully.

 

If that sounds like you, or if it doesn't but you still think you've got something special to offer, then we want to hear from you.

 

We believe that these diverse skill sets combine to create a whole greater than the sum of their parts.

 

Together with your team, you will have the expertise to form and bring to life, an idea that has the power to change the world.

 

What's it like?
