Solana rewards young innovators

(Patria) - The "Innovation challenge" competition, held last year at Vispak and AS d.o.o. companies, and this year at Klas d.d. Sarajevo, has attracted significant attention from young people who see this project as an opportunity to present their innovative ideas, gain new experiences, knowledge, and win valuable cash prizes.

After three successfully organized Innovation Challenge competitions, Solana d.d. Tuzla is joining the AS Holding companies and continuing to work with young people ready for real business challenges.

“We are looking forward to the upcoming days because we will see Solana and Tuzla salt from a different perspective, through the eyes of young people. Our greatest asset is our employees, the immense knowledge and experience we have generated at Solana since 1885, and we want to continue in that direction by supporting this way of encouraging young people. Be part of the team that brings success, be in an environment that will stimulate your thinking about a better future, and have a great time,” stated Bakir Smailagić, director of Solana d.d. Tuzla.

Solana has selected two business challenges for this competition. The first is “The Salty Side of the Future”, which aims to strengthen the image and brand of existing products and the company Solana d.d. Tuzla in the digital transformation process using various communication channels. For the second challenge, “Tuzla Salt as a Natural Crystal of Health and Beauty”, it is necessary to devise a new, fun, and innovative product based on Tuzla salt.

All you need to do is create an innovation concept or a response to the challenge based on the guidelines provided in the instructions, which you can find on the website challenge.solana.ba, and record a short video presenting your idea, upload it to YouTube, and include the link in your concept. If you are between 18 and 25 years old, want practical experience that will be a significant reference in your careers, love challenges, and are proactive, then this competition is the right choice for you.

"Your task is to assemble a team of three people, choose a case, and offer a concept for the challenges in the direction of innovative action. Applications and submission of solutions can be made until June 18, 2019. After that, the finals will be held on June 27 and 28, 2019, at Solana in Tuzla, where eight selected teams will verbally present their ideas. The three best solutions for the business cases of Solana d.d. Tuzla will be awarded cash prizes worth: 1st place – 1,500 KM, 2nd place – 1,000 KM, 3rd place – 500 KM. In addition to cash prizes, finalists can also win prizes such as internships, apprenticeships, additional training, and seminars," it was announced.
