Samsung was looking for ideas that will shape the future at the first European final of Solutions for Tomorrow in Milan. The international initiative aims to encourage young innovators to develop creative solutions based on technology, with which they can respond to global problems. The competition was attended by representatives of 10 European finalist teams, from which the jury selected five winners.

The Milan event was attended by young people from 10 European countries, selected by the international jury from among the best from previous years. Hungary was represented at the domestic final by the team My Hormone, which won the podium in 2024, and has been actively working on their project on the topic of female hormonal balance ever since. Their goal was to fill the gap in public health education in the field of women’s health, and they have since started developing their own mobile app. At the European final, they were not only able to present this to an international audience, but also to participate in joint workshops and cultural programs.

The finalists were joined by experts from Samsung and the International Olympic Committee as part of the Together for Tomorrow, Enabling People initiative. The aim of this program is to engage the younger generation and use sport and technology to achieve positive change in the world. This goal aligns with Samsung and the Olympic Committee’s shared vision: to inspire young people to use the unifying power of sport and cutting-edge innovations to drive change and contribute to sustainable development.

The winning teams and their developments

Curastep – Raye and Sarah (UK): Smart IoT biometric shoe that helps diabetics with foot problems maintain an active lifestyle.
Liova – Evan and Simon (France): A portable charger made from used device parts, eco-designed.
My Hormone – Petra and Zóra (Hungary): Comprehensive educational material on female hormonal balance, filling the gap in public health knowledge.
SkillFIT – Alicia and Gabriel (Germany): AI-based platform aimed at ensuring equal opportunities in school physical education.
VisionNex – Jakub and Jakub (Czech Republic): Affordable smart glasses that convert images of the world around us into text descriptions, helping the visually impaired to participate more actively in their environment.

In the final, Benjamin Braun, Head of Marketing Europe at Samsung, and Cristina Mangiarotti, Head of CRM and Media at Samsung Italy, also provided valuable advice to the teams, as did the IOC Young Leaders program participants. The students also took part in workshops to develop their presentation skills.

“It was a great experience to see the talent and creativity of the young innovators,” said Benjamin Braun, Head of Marketing at Samsung Europe. “The Solutions for Tomorrow competition proves that technology can indeed bring about positive change. We are proud to support the work of the students, with which they can create a better future for all of us. I am extremely proud that Europe is hosting the first international Solutions for Tomorrow competition. I am delighted to support the principles of Olympism365 and these talented young Europeans who can become the leaders of the future. We look forward to expanding the Solutions for Tomorrow programme to provide them with even more opportunities like this.”
