■Comments from Srisetiowati Seiful, Chairperson of ISEC international Judging Panel
(She is a representative of ISEC initiators, and a memberof ISEC 2016 Steering Committee)
"The majority of the participants were quite creative when it came to presenting their business plans, telling their stories, editing their videos, and making the best of it. They really came forth as young entrepreneurs trying to convince potential investors of their product.
On the other hand, we have to remember that ISEC was founded as a competition integrating science and technology innovation with entrepreneurship. So asides from the criteria that the business has to be economically feasible, the technology also has to be (logically) workable, and most importantly, this competition also encourages participants to come up with fresh, "wow" innovations, as difficult as it may be.
On that note, fresh, "wow" innovations were still rarely seen in this year's competition, and upon analyzing deeper into some of the technology proposed, some were actually not workable. One other important aspect that was missing: not a single participant actually calculated how much energy was saved, when the challenge was about saving energy.
All in all, the enthusiasm of all the participants was refreshing to see, and you could see how much effort all the participants put into responding to the ISEC challenge this year. We hope to see even more countries participating in next year's ISEC with greater enthusiasm and fresh, "wow" innovations!"
