ITU World Young Innovators Competition launches Challenge-2

ITU’s Young Innovators Competition has launched the second challenge of 2014 series, soliciting innovations using open source technologies for disaster management and offering winners the chance to win up to USD 10,000 and the opportunity to demonstrate their work at ITU Telecom World 2014 in December, 2014.

This 2nd challenge asks 18-30 year old start-up founders from across ITU’s 193 Member States to submit their ideas via crowdsourcing platform. It also seeks innovators with ideas for taking the iconic technologies of the “maker culture,” such as 3D printing or robotics and applying these technologies to saving lives in disaster situations and reaching the most vulnerable communities in the world.
