Themes
Choose a theme that inspires you and build innovative solutions
Play, Move, Live:
Sports, Fitness & Active Lifestyle
Sedentary lifestyles pose a growing health risk to young Maldivians, making it vital to integrate movement and wellness into daily life. This theme challenges young innovators to leverage technology to promote active living, fitness engagement, and community health.
Balance, Connect, Thrive:
Mental Wellness & Resilience
Mental health is a spectrum that goes beyond treating illness; it is about cultivating the resilience to navigate life's ups and downs. While access to support is crucial, there is an equally urgent need for proactive care that prevents burnout and promotes emotional sustainability.
Launch, Earn, Thrive:
Youth Ventures & The Gig Economy
The future workforce is independent, agile, and digital. However, many young Maldivians face hurdles in turning their skills into sustainable, scalable ventures or thriving in the global gig economy.
Imagine, Express, Inspire:
Arts, Culture & Digital Creativity
Creativity takes many forms—from music and storytelling to performance and visual design. We believe technology should act as a limitless studio for all types of expression.
