RULES of the Open Innovation Challenge
Jury Members of the Open Innovation Challenge
Open Innovation Weekend is a three-day event aimed at stimulating development of an Open Innovation ecosystem in Moldova leveraging the potential of the open data and other types of data, in order to be able to produce valuable apps. The event will bring together representatives of the IT developer community, civil society organizations, Governmental institutions and the private sector. During the 3 days, participants will receive technical training (Open Innovations TechCamp) and then teams will participate in a software development event (“Apps for Moldova” Hackathon and Challenge) to develop innovative applications. At its conclusion, an independent international Jury will award prizes for winning apps. More details available via www.codd.md. The event is co-organized by “CMB” Training Center and Association of IT Developers, with support from the e-Government Center, World Bank, Moldcell and other sponsors. The organizing team is currently looking for additional partners and sponsors for the event, to stimulate a more active participation of local and international partners in this initiative.
