    Imagine Cup Overview

    What Is Imagine Cup?

    Founded in 2003, Microsoft’s Imagine Cup is the company’s premier student technology and
    innovation competition. It provides an opportunity for student technologists, developers and aspiring
    entrepreneurs from all academic backgrounds to collaborate, develop a technology application, and
    bring their passion to life while gaining a perspective of what is needed to bring a concept to market.
    In Imagine Cup, the brightest young minds join together to exemplify the power of student innovation.
    The winning team will take home the Imagine Cup trophy along with USD100,000 and a mentoring
    session with Microsoft’s CEO, Satya Nadella. Complete prizing information can be found below.

    How Does Imagine Cup Work?

    Students compete in teams of up to four people to develop an original technology project from start
    to finish—create an idea, make a plan, build the solution, and compete.
    Students advance through various rounds of competition through in-person National Final events
    organized by Higher Education Commission & Microsoft in Pakistan. Thousands of entries are judged,
    and the top teams in each region (North, Center, South and Baluchistan) are selected to advance to
    the Pakistan Regional Finals held online via Teams & HEC’s Video Conference platforms. The top teams
    from each Regional Final will be invited to the Imagine Cup National Competition, where they compete
    for the title of National Champion, and the selected team/s advance to the latter stages of the
    competition. The national winners from Pakistan will advance directly to the world finals, competing
    against top teams from across the world!
