So I'm here as the Chairman of Robotex and will quickly give an overview of these girls achievement.
We first saw Roya, the entrepreneur helping those girls ar World Summit AI in Amsterdam earlier this October.
There they decided to participate in the Entrepreneurial Challenge, which is a new competition determined to find the most awesome new robotics teams and/or solutions across all continents. It's somewhat like a prototype competition, as we're still building the whole Entrepreneurial concept and raising a pre-seed global robotics fund to help such companies in the future.
At this competition, they showcased a prototype for the solar-powered agricultural machine and managed to get almost 35% of all votes, not because of their popularity, any politics or just the product but for their ability to market their product throughout the whole event + the idea itself.
Overall we're happy that they came. Even happier that they got the first place. And now looking into starting a franchise of our event also in Afghanistan.
If anyone wants to help out with the latter, then please contact me.
Thank you for taking the time to come and write a reply, it is greatly appreciated.
I’d love to know more about the machine they ended up prototyping, and the other teams prototypes. It all sounds super interesting!
Not sure who it helps. Low-earning Russians weren't really using it. High-earning ones that need to use it, e.g. Russian investors, will just be finding ways to still use it - VPN, travel to Estonia etc.
It's perfectly okay to minimise the time spent checking you email. Moreover, it's quite a waste of time to do it more often than once, maybe twice per day.
However, going into 1-2 times per week sounds already somewhat harder. It's doable once you've built yourself up, but not while you're still growing.
+ Email kinda has become the place at least I'm getting most of my news nowadays - via various newsletters...
