A competition challenges youth developers to design innovative mobile applications to foster social inclusion. The contest, launched today (edit: contest began 22th of July), is a joint initiative of the global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider Huawei, the leading software maker Microsoft and the European Young Innovators Forum (EYIF).
The competition, entitled ?InnoApps, Huawei Apps Developers European Challenge, Powered by Microsoft?, is open to university students and young professionals under 27 who are EU residents. The contest aims to contribute to a more inclusive society by fostering ?e-skills?, increasing ?e-participation? and promoting entrepreneurship among young people.
Contributions will be accepted until 8 September 2013. The awards will be presented at a ceremony in Brussels during Global Entrepreneurship Week, which will take place from 18 to 24 November 2013.
The winner of the first prize will be awarded ?5000 and will enjoy full commercialisation support to help them promote their app and to further foster youth entrepreneurship. The developers who come in first and second place, and the top female developer, will be taken by Huawei on a trip to China?s innovation centres. These developers, along with the audience?s selected winner, will all have their apps promoted in Microsoft?s Windows store. The six finalists will receive technical and marketing mentoring at a Brussels workshop, as well as promotion on the organisers? websites. They, and six runners-up, will also receive a Huawei phone each. Full article available here : PRESS RELEASE: InnoApps Challenge- empowering young people to make a difference > Microsoft Europe
