MANILA, Philippines - Three students of the University of the Philippines (UP) bagged the grand prize during the second edition of the Indra Future Minds Competition recently held in Madrid, Spain.
Erwin Soleta, Maria Katrina Volante and Benedict Ivan Andrade bested 10 other participating teams from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Mexico, Peru, and Spain in the final phase of the competition.
The UP students will be given the opportunity of joining the information technology (IT) multinational upon completion of their studies.
This will provide the students with an international experience early in their professional careers, thus developing the global profile that companies currently look for.
The international competition for students sponsored by Indra, aims to find solutions to the challenges faced by the business sector, such as globalization, multiculturalism, and collaborative networking.
Indra is a global technology, innovation and talent company with stakes in the transport, energy, healthcare, financial services, security and communications sectors worldwide. The company, which was established in the town of Aranjuez in Spain, is now considered as the leading technology provider in Spain and one of the leading multinational firms in Europe and Latin America.
The Philippine participants earned their victory by resolving the final Smart Cities case which is based on an actual Indra project for the City Government of Barcelona.
