The jury, formed from the Penta Investments representatives, awarded 6 students coming from Czech, Slovak and Polish universities for their inspiring and innovative ideas. The working with information sources, innovativeness and ideas consistency has been taken into consideration and rated by the jury.
"Due to the fact that it was a very low difference in our ratings, we decided not to award an absolute winner, but to award best four students with the price of EUR 3,000 and the two remaining students with the price of EUR 1,000. We highly appreciate the record-breaking participation of all students as we received number of interesting ideas," Jaroslav Haščák, managing partner of Penta said.
