API:Suomi is InnoApps partner

The European Young Innovators Forum (EYIF) invited APISuomi to be partner for the InnoApps 2016, the only pan-European competition to develop innovative Apps for SmartCities. We gladfully accepted the invitation.

What is it?

The InnoApps Challenge is the only pan-European competition to develop innovative Apps for SmartCities, organised by EYIF in partnership with Huawei. InnoApps encourages young people to build ground-breaking solutions to improve social inclusion and foster the development of decentralised innovation ecosystems in Europe. This year the focus is in on the IoT (Internet of Things), as a cross-cutting technology domain and on Smart Cities as a vertical application area, to address the specific challenges related to SafeCities.

Why InnoApps?

The InnoApps Challenge is a joint initiative of the European Young Innovators Forum and Huawei with the aim of contributing to the development of a more socially inclusive society in Europe by fostering e-skills, increasing e-participation and promoting entrepreneurship for young generations in Europe today. In contrast to other competitions, InnoApps provides long-term mentoring and commercialisation support for the winning team, to create a feasible and concrete pathway for the winning App developers to bring to the market their creativity.
