The Stockholm Challenge, Stockholm, Sweden
The Stockholm Challenge Award 2006 invites excellent ICT (Information and Communications Technology) projects from all over the world to compete for the prestigious Challenge trophies. The Challenge is searching for the best initiatives that accelerate the use of information technology for the social and economic benefit of citizens and communities.
The objective is to help local entrepreneurs, who work to close the digital divide, by bringing in research communities, development organisations and strong corporate initiatives.
The awards will be handed out in six categories in the City Hall — in May 2006. Special focus will be on projects in countries and regions with the greatest needs. There will also be an international Challenge conference in Stockholm on issues related to the role of ICTs in global development work.
The award is open for entries until December 31st 2005. The application form is at www.stockholmchallenge.se/application.html.
In 2002 there were 6 NZ entries, and in 2003/4 there were 8, with three finalists: Living Heritage, FarNet and Sniff Swing and Swipe.
