Competition format & key facts
Organized detailsOverview
An open innovation-project competition for startups and innovators during Mali’s inaugural international renewable-energy salon.
Complete competition details
The official SIERM 2026 site currently states that innovation-project applications are open and provides a 'Submit Innovation Project' action. SIERM takes place 24–26 September 2026 at CICB in Bamako. The programme includes a startup innovation pitch session on 25 September and Innovation Awards on 26 September. The organizer has not published a numeric competition fee, prize amount or final submission cutoff on the inspected public page, so those fields remain unknown.
Eligibility requirements
The organizer explicitly invites startups and innovators to submit projects connected to renewable-energy innovation. More detailed category restrictions were not stated on the inspected public page.
Tips for this competition
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Study the scoring criteria and previous winners before deciding what evidence, prototype, essay, research or portfolio will best support the entry.
- Confirm country, age, team, education and organization restrictions and whether one person may enter multiple submissions.
- Follow the required file format, word/time limits and naming rules exactly; technical non-compliance can disqualify a strong entry.
- Keep proof of submission and submit before the deadline rather than relying on the final hour.
