Innovating to create positive change

We’ve partnered with Red Bull Basement as the Official Technology Services Partner, to empower student innovators in all areas of study to kickstart their ideas using technology to drive positive change. Teams from 43 countries engaged with thought leaders, entrepreneurs and visionaries from around the world as they brought their technology-based ideas to life.

Innovation is part of our DNA and central to our purpose of enabling the connected future, that's why NTT Group invests USD 3.6 billion in innovation each year. This partnership also supports our commitment to driving action and awareness for the Global Goals aligned to our Sustainability Ambition. 

Innovative ideas that change the status quo

2021 winner: Jotted! 

Arizona State University students, Brinlee Kidd and Sylvia Lopez took top honors at the Red Bull Basement Global Final with their idea for an automated study tool aimed at empowering students to overcome academic challenges.

Meet our 2021 NTT Wildcard team: E-Trash

E-Trash is an innovative technology solution focused on recognizing and sorting waste material more effectively using a capacitive, inductive and humidity sensor to automatically divide trash into the relevant recycling compartment.
