The battles' line up is as follows:
1. Magision vs Vision Plus, 2. IdeaCentricity vs Laborforce.pk, 3. BugDev Studios vs PlayBolt Studios, 4. Appography vs Plagiarism Checker X. The winners of this National round will compete in the Regional level competition in Saudi Arabia. Finalists of Regional Battle will then get a chance to appear in the Final in Netherlands where the winners will secure an investment worth Euro 1,000,000 to start their protected entrepreneurial journey.
