Winners will get an all-expenses paid trip to Silicon Valley where Accenture executives will arrange for them to meet with key investors. The initiative is in partnership with Expo 2020 Dubai, Fintech Hive at DIFC and Etisalat Digital. Moreover, Accenture will also be awarding the winners of GITEX’s highly anticipated Student Lab competition with a tailored internship program at the company.
