Citi Presents IdeaPOP! 2026: Announcing the Top 10 Finalists

The IdeaPOP! 2026 Semi-final Pitch is a wrap, and after an intense competition, our Top 10 finalists have been decided!

Last week, we witnessed 40 teams present their innovative, tech-driven solutions addressing key social issues.

Behind every proposal was a team that had spent weeks listening, researching, and rethinking. From one-on-one mentoring to the quarter-final stage, these teams have sharpened their ideas every step of the way.

A sincere congratulations to the 10 teams who have earned their place on the Grand Final stage! We look forward to seeing you push your ideas even further on May 16. To every team that competed, thank you—your dedication was truly inspiring.
