    -Jury: the jury consists of representatives from KTH Innovation, Sting, Innovationsbron, Industrifonden, KTH Chalmers Capital, Ericsson and Kreditor

    -Confidentiality: All competition entries will be kept strictly confidential, only the jury will see them (and also the researcher if you picked one of the KTH cases).
