Samsung Solve Tomorrow 2025
The program empowers students to tackle real-world challenges using technology, offering substantial support and mentorship.
Launched on April 29, 2025, Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2025 is a pan-India competition providing students with the tools, mentorship, and resources needed to develop impactful solutions. The program offers a grand prize of INR 1 crore to the top four winning teams to support the incubation of their projects. Beyond the financial reward, participants receive invaluable guidance from Samsung leaders and IIT Delhi faculty, along with support for prototyping their ideas.
Sparking Innovation in Maharashtra and Gujarat
Recent roadshows held at various educational institutions have been instrumental in inspiring young innovators. In Pune, events at DPS School and Munsukhbhai Kothari School generated significant enthusiasm. Kolhapur saw active participation from SPSMBH College of Architecture and NIT Sabhagruh. Similarly, New Era School and Anand Vidya Vihar School in Vadodara witnessed a remarkable display of student ingenuity.
These roadshows highlighted the program’s transformative influence:
Pune: Aakash, a Class 11 student, arrived with a nascent idea for sustainable packaging and left with a clear roadmap. “Samsung Solve for Tomorrow showed me I can turn this idea into reality,” he shared.
Vadodara: Rohan from Anand Vidya Vihar developed wireframes for a mobile app designed to make education accessible for remote learners. “I want to ensure children like my cousin aren’t left behind,” he explained.
Kolhapur: Architecture student Ishan found inspiration in leveraging technology to revive local crafts, emphasizing, “It’s about connecting the past with the future.”
Across these sessions, students proposed a diverse range of innovative solutions, from smart agriculture tools and mental health platforms to affordable solar innovations. A common thread among them was a shared commitment to driving positive change and a strong belief in their own potential to make a difference. As one teacher at the Pune event noted, “These ideas are driven by empathy. They’re creating solutions to help others, not for recognition.”
Cultivating Design Thinking and Problem-Solving
The roadshows also introduced students to the principles of design thinking, encouraging them to question, empathize, define, and prototype their solutions. This approach emphasized understanding the ‘why’ behind the ‘what,’ fostering a deeper, more empathetic problem-solving mindset.
The impact of Samsung Solve for Tomorrow is clear: it’s not merely fostering innovation but actively shaping a future where classroom ideas can indeed transform the world. Young individuals aged 14-22 years have until June 30, 2025, to apply for this nationwide competition and become part of this inspiring movement.
