Last week, Manchester's Digital Strategy unveiled their three CommuniCity challenges, inviting Manchester’s tech community to develop solutions that tackle some of the problems faced by underserved communities in in our city.
Successful pilot teams will each receive a grant of up to €12,500 to help engage local communities and bring their solutions to life.
If you have a great idea that could:
- Make arts and culture more accessible to everyone
- Collate the deluge of information on offer to people experiencing poverty
- Solve literally ANY social challenge in Manchester
They want to hear from you!
Whether you’re a business, social enterprise, or an entrepreneur with a big idea, this is your chance to use technology to make a real difference to people’s lives.
