£225K Digital Innovation Contest - Cross-Sector Exploration

£225k in funding to work with the UK’s leading creative brands



IC tomorrow is running the £225k 'Digital Innovation Contest – Cross-sector Exploration' to encourage digital innovation across three themes  - retail, events and analytics.

Winners will receive up to £25k each (excluding VAT) in funding and have the opportunity to trial their solution with the relevant contest challenge partner, including Argos, Procter & Gamble, Holition, SYCO, Live Nation, Penguin Random House, the British Film Institute, LIFT (supported by Saatchi & Saatchi), and The Barbican.  We are looking for great ideas that address one of the nine contest challenges.

Who should sign up: The contest is open to EU-based start-ups and SMEs; it is not necessary to have an existing app or service to apply, or to be currently active in any of the challenge sectors.

Briefing Event: Wednesday 29 January,  Rich Mix, London, E1 6LA
This event is a great opportunity for anyone who is thinking about entering the contest to ensure their application fits the judging criteria. We will also be running a live webinar for anyone who is unable to attend in person.
