    Groups that submit their report and video on time will compete for a place in the final. Of them, a total of six groups will be selected to the challenge final, which takes place at IBM headquarters or Aalto (to be decided) on April 26. The selected groups will not only compete against one another but also with groups from University of Turku. In the final, the groups will present their solution before live audience, which consists of managers and directors from IBM and their customers. The best groups will receive a prize.
