上傳介紹影片是否會增加入選機會?
Will uploading an introduction video increase the chance of being selected?
影片為選擇性上傳選項,影片是為了讓評審委員更加了解您的商模與公司,若團隊認為僅用幾頁PPT很難讓評審委員完整了解,則建議團隊上傳影片幫助說明,但不一定會增加進入決賽的機會。
Uploading a video is optional. The purpose of the video is to help the judges better understand your business model and company.
If your team feels that a few PPT slides are not enough to clearly convey your idea, we recommend submitting a video for additional clarity.
However, it does not necessarily increase the chances of advancing to the finals.
