DHL launches its second Innovation Challenges and calls students, start-ups and inventors worldwide to submit their ideas for two logistics-related challenges.

Participants should submit a written document and video explaining their idea until September through the competition’s website at www.dhlinnovationchallenge.com

All entries will be reviewed by senior DHL executives in a pre-selection process. Three finalists of each challenge will be chosen, whose concepts meet the criteria of functionality, aesthetics, potential to solve the given problem and commercial feasibility. The nominees will present their solutions in front of 180 senior supply chain professionals and trend experts at the DHL Innovation Day 2017 in Germany on November 16.

The winners will be selected in a live-voting process while the two top scorers receive the prize money and will have their concepts displayed at the DHL Innovation Centers in Germany and Singapore. They will also have the opportunity to develop proof-of-concepts with DHL.
