The ‘World Innovative Technology (WIT) Challenge’ is an educational initiative that encourages students to develop innovation and creativity through project-oriented competitions.

The first WIT competition was founded by Prof Jun Jo (Griffith University, Australia) in 2014, as one of the major events for the ‘G20 Summit 2014, Australia’.

Every year since then, 100 ~ 200 students have participated in this exciting event, met many friends from other countries and shared their innovative skills and ideas.

Unlike other competitions, such as IRO and Robocup, the WIT challenge is more focused on developing students’ innovation and creativity, through presentations and technical competitions.
