The Qualcomm Q-Prize, to be awarded at this year's beGLOBAL 2015 Startup Battle, has been increased to a hefty $250,000. In light of this major change, we have extended out the deadline for applications to April 6th to give startups a bit more time to refine their applications and get through the first round of screening.

Last year's startup battle saw 112 startups apply. This year's startup battle will be tighter, more focused and the barrier to entry will be higher.

Startups putting in your applications, please keep this in mind. We want to see your best.

Hope to see you at this year's conference and the best of luck to all applicants. ^_^
