Samsung Electronics Indonesia is opening another pathway for young people to turn everyday problems into practical ideas through Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2026. The registration window runs from the end of April to the end of May 2026, with the program open to students across different education levels in Indonesia.
The initiative is designed as both a learning space and a competition. Through the official digital platform, participants can submit ideas and join a development process that focuses on creativity, problem analysis, and future-ready skills.
A program built beyond a competition
Samsung positions Solve for Tomorrow not merely as an idea contest, but as a talent-development program. Participants are expected to move through a structured journey that helps them understand a problem before shaping it into a workable solution.
That process combines Design Thinking with AI Amplification. The approach is intended to help teams examine issues more deeply and build solutions that are not only interesting on paper, but also capable of creating real impact.
What participants will go through
Throughout the program, participants will be mentored by experienced professionals. The stages include idea formulation, concept development, and solution refinement, giving students and university participants a chance to learn in a guided environment.
The support is also meant to provide practical value beyond the competition itself. Samsung says participants can gain skills and certification that are considered important in the digital era and useful for future careers, including work and entrepreneurship.
Two themes for this edition
For 2026, Samsung Solve for Tomorrow centers on two main themes that reflect current challenges. The first theme focuses on environmental sustainability through circular economy practices aimed at reducing waste and maximizing the use of natural resources.
The second theme addresses social issues through technology that can create more inclusive access to sports. The focus includes women and people with disabilities, with the hope that the ideas developed will answer broader community needs.
Growing interest from young Indonesians
Interest in the program has continued to rise from year to year. In the previous period, thousands of registrants joined and formed hundreds of teams from different regions across Indonesia.
That level of participation suggests a growing desire among young people to use technology to solve social problems. It also reflects a stronger flow of innovative ideas coming from various parts of the country.
Track record that reaches beyond Indonesia
The program also carries a record of Indonesian innovation gaining international recognition. One example is Team Labmino from the University of Indonesia, which was selected as a global ambassador in the program.
That achievement shows how social awareness combined with technical ability can produce solutions recognized on a wider stage. For prospective participants, such examples may serve as motivation to build ideas that are more mature and relevant.
What alumni say they gained
Several alumni have said the program helped them look at problems more systematically. They learned to trace the root cause of an issue before designing digital solutions, including those that use Machine Learning.
Alongside technical exposure, they also developed critical thinking, teamwork, and the ability to present ideas clearly. These qualities make the program relevant for students preparing for future career demands.
Samsung says its support for digital talent continues through education-focused initiatives such as SFT and Innovation Campus. With Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2026 now open, students and university participants in Indonesia once again have a space to test ideas that connect creativity, technology, and social responsibility.
