THE BIG DAY!
On Saturday, we continue working on the case: problem discovery, user research, solution exploration, and finally, pitching your concept to the jury.

Get ready for two days of fun, intense, meaningful, chaotic, practical, and innovative experience.

Both days are mandatory to participate. No preparation time needed.

Is prior tech specific knowledge needed?

No! Different skills, curiosity and value-based thinking matter the most in this case competition!

Building Trust in a Digital Future is a case competition where you as a student from ITU are given 1.5 days to work on the case in teams. During the event, you are guided through different phases where they have to research the problem, the users and existing solutions/methods. Afterwards, you have to develop ideas and solutions, which are finally presented in a pitch.

This is not just a case competition. It is an agenda that matters with societal importance. And now you have the opportunity to contribute to the agenda.

What to expect?

Can I sign up alone?

Yes! In fact, we encourage you to!

The majority of participants sign up by themselves, and are later matches with other applicants to form an interdisciplinary team.

Collaborating with students from other fields provides great value in working with complex issues.

Do not worry, we got you!

No! The event is free. We only ask for your time commitment.

Does it cost anything to attend?

What about food?

We provide food and beverages for everyone on both days!

What about after the case competition?

We expect nothing of you after the event. However, if you and/or your team want to continue working on your idea after the event is over, you are more than welcome too. We will do our very best to help you in the process.

Can I sign up with a self-created group?

Yes!
You can sign up with one or multiple teammates. But all of you must sign up individually (and mention each other in the registration form).

This case competition is focused on rebuilding trust in digital societies.

You as a student will create concepts technological solutions based on one main principle: To restore and strengthen trust between citizens and relevant actors. How can we design digital services where consent, control and trust are embedded in the solution – so that citizens share their data voluntarily because they can see the value for both themselves and society?

Why is this case competition relevant?

Sign up deadline

You can register until February 13th 2026. HOWEVER, we have a limited number of seats available, so sign up now to secure your spot!

A waiting list will be established for those who did not secure a spot in the first round.
