IN partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd), Samsung's 'Solve for Tomorrow' is an innovative competition that fosters critical thinking, creative problem-solving and teamwork to encourage social innovation ideas that address pressing community issues.
Since its global launch in 2010, the CSR (corporate social responsibility) program has provided an opportunity for students worldwide to turn their imaginative ideas into practical solutions. It aims to empower STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) students to share and realize their ideas to solve societal challenges and make an impact in their local communities. The competition offers a unique learning experience, enabling participants to leverage their STEM expertise and acquire valuable skills throughout the entire journey. As of 2020, it has benefited over 2 million people and expanded to over 50 markets, including the Philippines in 2023.
