The call for challenge owners is now open!
The call for Challenge Owners is now open . Submit your challenge by July 25.
If you're a Challenge Owner, register today and share your innovation challenge!
Please note that all submissions will be reviewed by the organization, which will determine whether the challenge will be published and included in the Open Innovation Challenge. We are particularly looking for challenges that are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and that require innovative, impactful solutions.
The challenge needs to be broad enough so that different providers can apply with various solutions, but also specific enough in terms of functionalities or indicators so that companies can understand whether their solution meets the challenge requirements or not.
We ask challenge leaders to commit to attending meeting requests from solution providers and to provide an action plan outlining what they are willing to offer in return if there is a perfect match with the proposed solution.
Solution providers will be able to register starting September 17.
