Please note that this is a different initiative than the Daimler AG challenge for employees. While both competitions seek ideas and business models targeted at the figure of 100 million, this initiative is led by Mercedes-Benz Research and Development Tel Aviv Ltd. The challenge for employees is led by Lab1886, the company's own innovation lab and incubator. The two challenge processes will remain separate. This challenge is open to students in Israel and around the world via submissions made through this website, while the internal challenge is open to employees via submissions made through the DigitalLife Crowd Ideas Platform.
