The icode784 Competition is intended to give participants the chance to change the world using their imagination and creativity and to showcase our young people’s inclination towards innovation. Innovation powers entrepreneurship. We want to provide the foundation for innovation by giving participants a forum to create great inspiring ideas that could revolutionize the Vincentian Society.
We hope to encourage participants from various secondary, technical and tertiary level institutes in addition to the public from across the island to put forward ideas and mobile applications for both the public and private sectors of St. Vincent and the Grenadines to facilitate the implementation of new systems or improve existing systems within those sectors.
The competition seeks to primarily focus on the importance of idea creation and the possibilities that can develop from the seeds of innovation that are planted in the minds of our young people. That being said, participants will be challenged to develop and present projects in the form of Ideas and Mobile Applications.
Submissions should clearly outline all the resources (human, equipment etc.) and procedures necessary for the successful implementation of the Mobile Application / Idea. All procedures should be itemized, clearly outlined and must be practical.
Submissions must be able to show how the businesses that provide services in the private sector or departments in the public sector will be able to benefit financially from the implementation of the Mobile Application / Idea outlined. The Mobile Application / Idea must also be beneficial in the sense of improving existing services or the rate at which those services are offered.
