The Software Competition was the very first event included in the roster of SOFTEC, in its advent in 1995. It has become the core around which the entire SOFTEC event is now arranged. This competition brings together students from across the world to display their software projects for formal judging by a team of experts, providing participants with valuable feedback and experience of real-world evaluation benchmarks. Not only is this a source of erudition for the participants, but visitors to the exhibition are more often than not students seeking projects with the potential for future development, or even I.T. industry professionals looking for promising talent among the participants.
