YESIST12: AGE OF INNOVATION 2022 is an international Talent Show jointly organized by Madras IEEE Education Society Chapter in collaboration with Madras IEEE SSIT, Madras IEEE WIE and Madras IEEE YP, hosted in partnership with IEEE sections, Universities and leading technology industry companies. The challenge is conducted to recognize the best social innovation application on the theme given as per the guidelines of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The solutions provided by the innovators hold technical and environmental importance, thereby positively affecting the neighborhood around us. The competition is held in two stages: Preliminary Competition (in the pilot level) and Final Competition. Preliminary competition is organized as satellite competitions by the pilots selected in several countries all over the world while the finals are held in a selected country. In the virtual mode both satellite as well as Final competitions will be held virtually.

The dates for the final competitions are scheduled as 10 th and 11 th of September 2022.
