Hi all!
My name is Brittany Hinchliff and I work for the Vodafone Americas Foundation. We launched a new initiative called the Vodafone Wireless Innovation Project, where we're seeking to identify and fund the best innovations using wireless related technology to address critical social issues around the world.
I hope you will help spread the word to potential applicants by forwarding the attached fact sheet and press release, and directing them to the Foundation website at:
http://www.vodafone-us.com/innovation.html and pressing the "enter" button below it, or directly reach the Project website
Three winners will be awarded prizes of $300,000, $200,000 and $100,000 for unique, late-stage wireless innovations that offer the best potential for creating social change in the areas of education, health, economic development, the environment and access to communication.
The Vodafone Wireless Innovation Project is open to projects submitted by applicants from universities and nonprofit organizations based in the United States. Eligible projects must:
* Demonstrate a multi-disciplinary approach that uses an innovation
in wireless related technology to address a critical global issue
* Hold the potential for replication and large scale impact
* Include a business plan or basic framework for financial
sustainability and rollout
Thank you very much for spreading the word about the Wireless Innovation Project, and helping to discover innovations that can change the world.
