Selection process
The selection process is multi-staged and rigorous. First, applications are evaluated across two rounds by a panel of senior Accenture Leaders and subject-matter experts from the relevant Reinvention Partners. These rounds assess core eligibility, innovation, alignment with autonomous technologies, and enterprise traction. Shortlisted finalists are then invited to the Grand Finale at the Accenture Innovation Hub in Bangalore on August 12, 2026. At the Finale, each finalist pitches their solution to a jury of CXOs and leading investors. Based on pitches and prior evaluations, one winner is selected for each of the seven challenge tracks.
