IT is ME 2026

The new edition of the IT is ME! competition is kicking off!

As a content partner, INNOAGH invites you to participate in the next edition of the IT is ME! Student Innovation Competition—a long-awaited event for students developing technology projects and IT innovations.

We invite teams from universities across Poland to participate!

From project to the future
If you’re creating a project that uses IT and new technologies—whether you’re at the idea stage, the prototype stage, or the initial implementation stage—this is the place for you. We’re looking for teams that think boldly, combine technology with real-world challenges, and want to take the next step in developing their ideas.

We invite student teams of at least two members from public and private universities across Poland to participate. Submitted projects may be developed as part of engineering, bachelor’s, or master’s theses, research club activities, or independent student initiatives.

Projects may utilize advanced information technologies, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, data analysis and processing, distributed systems, IoT, autonomous solutions, or cloud technologies. We are looking for solutions that translate these tools into concrete applications: from health and the environment, through transportation and smart cities, culture and the arts, to industry, security, and many other fields. Whether your team is creating an innovative educational game or IT technologies supporting space exploration – you’ll find a space to share your story.
