Advance Solutions Inc. (ASI), one of the country’s leading ICT solutions provider, presented the final eight teams that will compete for the right to be called true innovators in this year’s

ASI Technovation Challenge: Green I.T.; officially endorsed by the Commission on Higher Education.

The final eight teams that passed through the first level of eliminations are—Team Cyber Arceri and Team The BBN Project from De la Salle University; Team ICS Eastwood Icons from Informatics; Team Red from San Beda College Mendiola; Team A.R.C. and Team SMSDR from the University of Perpetual Help System Dalta; Team Royal and Team Zed from the University of Sto. Tomas. They came in full force during the presentation of their certificates wearing their school or team colors to signify their unity.

The eight-team finalists were selected from numerous entries by a distinguished panel of judges from media, IT professionals, COMDDAP and Advance Solutions Inc. representatives.

Their proposals were acknowledged to have passed strict criteria that included environmental impact, viability, creativity and originality and team dynamics. Some are ingeniously simple, but got a lot of attention from the judges.

Their proposals range from providing energy conservation devices, water conservation and waste management devices that will now be put to the test, as each team is slated to build their own prototypes.

All eight-team finalists are expected to bring to fruition their concepts by creating their prototype. These prototypes will be presented at the COMDDAP Expo at the World Trade Center starting on November 16 to 18, where it will be judge to determine the winning concept and final prototype.

The winning team will carry the distinction of being the first “technovators” and will take home a grand prize of P100,000 cash and IT products. The first set of runners-up, composed of four teams, will each win P25,000 cash and IT products, while the second set of runners-up, composed of three teams, will each win P15,000 worth of IT products.
