Nov 20, 2009 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) --
* Intel Foundation Presents $25,000 to Winning Team, Co-Hosts First Global Entrepreneurship Leadership Symposium to Foster Innovation through Mentorship
* As winner of the Intel+UC Berkeley Technology Entrepreneurship Challenge, Ihealth, from Tsinghua University in China, received a $25,000 award from Intel Foundation.
* Top winning business plans involved biodegradable bone screws, a Web site security technique that incorporates interactive video advertising and a home appliance that quickly and easily makes the staple food of India.
* Intel and the University of California, Berkeley Lester Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation also hosted the first-ever Global Entrepreneurship Leadership Symposium.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- For developing a novel biodegradable bone screw technology, Ihealth of China's Tsinghua University has won the 5th Annual Intel+UC Berkeley Technology Entrepreneurship Challenge (IBTEC), which supports and promotes entrepreneurship globally. Intel Foundation awarded the winning team $25,000 on Thursday evening. Intel also co-hosted the first-ever Global Entrepreneurship Leadership Symposium (GELS) to train potential mentors to support entrepreneurship and technology innovation around the world.
Second place went to CaptchaAd of Technical University Munich in Germany for the development of an innovative Web site security technique that incorporates interactive video advertising. Third place was awarded to Zimplistic of the National University of Singapore for its Rotimatic device that quickly and easily makes roti, the staple food of India. Ihealth, which presented its biodegradable bone screws with a reflection of how they would have helped Chinese basketball star Yao Ming recover from injury, was also named "audience favorite."
"Innovation is one of the cornerstones of Intel's success and the Intel Foundation is committed to helping foster new ideas and solutions that will have a positive impact on society and will help strengthen the global economy," said Andrew Chien, vice president of Intel Labs and director of Future Technologies Research for Intel. "This week's competition shone the spotlight on some truly inspiring solutions and drew attention to the role that higher education plays in encouraging young people to pursue innovative paths to solving global challenges."
The competition was held at the Haas School of Business in Berkeley, Calif., with 28 teams from 18 countries. Founded in 2005 by UC Berkeley and Intel as part of Intel's Higher Education Program, the IBTEC program is designed to incite young entrepreneurs to develop innovative technologies that solve real world challenges, build viable business models, and move that technology out of university labs and into the market for a positive impact on society.
This year, business plans included such ground-breaking solutions as cleaning water and soils affected by oil pollution, combating pesticide concerns in Chinese agriculture, biodegradable bone screws, a diaper that diagnoses urinary tract infections and a social learning platform for math and science education. Participants interacted with and were judged by representatives of more than 20 leading venture capital firms from the San Francisco Bay Area, and several may go on to create successful businesses that create commerce and prosperity in underserved communities. For example, 2 years after garnering second prize for its development of and plan to market hygroscopic paper, Richcore, an Indian biotech application research company, is now a viable company that, in addition to a regular staff, employs more than 500 previously underserved women from various non-governmental organizations and self help groups for its manufacturing and operations.
Mentoring Young Entrepreneurs Around the World In conjunction with this year's competition, Intel and the UC Berkeley Lester Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation hosted the first-ever Global Entrepreneurship Leadership Symposium (GELS), which trained expert mentors to support local entrepreneurs in their regions. Attendees included investors, university faculty, business executives, entrepreneurs and government leaders, who will each take what they learned back to their home countries to support entrepreneurism, innovation and economic development.
"I found the GELS program a great platform for discussing various aspects of mentoring startup ventures," said Dr. Deepanwita Chattopadhyay, CEO of ICICI Knowledge Park and mentor to IBTEC finalist team, AuSpore (Microspore). "We shared experiences with other mentors from eight different countries and the faculty who led the deliberations were passionate and encouraging. This experience will help me connect my mentee companies to a global network of venture capitalists and mentors."

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov 20, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
--Mass Animation's innovative animated short film, "Live Music," is now showing in select theaters nationwide.
--Animators from around the world collaborated on the Facebook Platform and used Autodesk Maya software to help create this first short film of its kind.
--"Live Music," sponsored by Intel, consists of the work of 51 animators from 17 countries, including both established 3-D artists and budding animators.
"Live Music," an innovative new animated short film from Mass Animation and sponsored by Intel Corporation, opens in select theaters nationwide today, marking a giant leap in the growing area of collaborative content creation.
Brought to life by Intel, this pioneering wiki project empowered animators from around the world to collaborate using a unique application built on the Facebook Platform. "Live Music" is playing in 400 U.S. theaters with TriStar Pictures' animated feature "Planet 51."
In the first-ever "day and date" theatrical and download distribution, "Live Music" is available today for download from iTunes and www.myxer.com for the mobile platform. Fans can also visit www.myxer.com to download free "Live Music" ringtones and wallpapers.
The final film reflects the creative work of 51 animators from 17 countries. The unique production of "Live Music" through the Facebook Platform attracted a diverse group of global animators who brought their talents to the project. Said Jim Donovan of Colorado, "'Live Music' is the most rewarding project I have worked on as a 3-D artist." Another animator whose work made the cut, Sarah Knight of England, said, "I was grateful and excited to be included in such an awesome experiment." Adding his comments, Florida resident Zach Hansen said, "I am going to be the first out of my class to have their name in credits in movie theaters, and that is very exciting for me."
"In the making of 'Live Music,' we saw clearly that there are lots of talented artists around the world who don't have access to traditional animation opportunities and who were excited about working on this innovative indie project with us and our visual effects partners at Reel FX," said Yair Landau, founder of Mass Animation and former vice chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment. "We are incredibly grateful to all of the talented animators and artists around the world who joined us on this journey and look forward to collaborating on Mass Animation 2.0."
An international jury of animation experts selected the best shots to be considered for the film. As director, Landau had the final say as to which submissions made the final cut. Animators whose work made it into the finished product received on-screen credit and cash compensation. In addition, animators whose creation was rated best by the community on a weekly basis received cash prizes from Dell and Intel with which they could purchase Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 processor-based Dell Studio XPS systems.
"Empowering people with the technology that enables them to achieve their full creative potential has always been a driving force at Intel," said Deborah Conrad, Intel vice president and general manager, Corporate Marketing Group. "Our support for Mass Animation, as the first collaborative, worldwide effort of its kind, is part of our long heritage of cultivating innovation and collaboration in its many forms around the globe."
Produced by Landau and Jacquie Barnbrook, "Live Music" is a 5 1/2-minute computer-generated animated short inspired by Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" and early CGI films. Set in a musical instrument store, the story follows Riff, a rock 'n' roll guitar, who, as Landau describes it, "falls in love to the wrong song but ends up with Vanessa, the classical violin of his dreams." The story is conveyed through the universal language of music, allowing the expressions and actions of the characters to be instantly relatable globally. The instruments are brought to life through original compositions and familiar rock tunes played principally by legendary guitarist Steve Vai as Riff and acclaimed violinist Ann Marie Calhoun as Vanessa.
Along with Intel and thousands of participants in the project, Mass Animation's partners in making "Live Music" included Dell, Autodesk and Reel FX.
