IMPACT DRIVEN INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS
Digital ideas, solutions, services, applications with a positive impact on society, matching one of the Sustainable Development Goals. The idea should be solving or have the potential to solve local issues. Content is more important than tech innovation. Be it a simple SMS-based application, a creative app, an online platform, or a content-driven hardware solution – it’s the unique content and the high local impact that counts. Does the Idea/solution confront the local challenges and needs?
Ideas, proto-types, or beta versions are accepted; they don’t have to prove already some local impact and market relevance. Digital solutions, services, applications with a positive impact in your country matching one of the SDGs.
