IdeaSpace Challenge 2008

November 12, 2008 by RootSpaceOnline

IdeaSpace Challenge DEADLINE EXTENDED UNTIL SATURDAY, Nov 22, 3pm.

As part of "Global Entrepreneurship Week in Lebanon (Nov 17-23)", you are invited to take part in a lively, engaging, and participatory discussion about development challenges in Lebanon (social, economic, environmental, et cetera), assets we have in Lebanon (people, climate, location, etc), potential solutions to development challenges, and possible uses of technology that could help. The discussion and brainstorming session, hosted by RootSpace and Network Operations & Consultancy Center (inocc.com), will be very engaging and fully participatory, so please come and join us!

Saturday, 1-2:30pm, MENA ICT Conference Hall at Termium Tech Expo, BIEL

Please forward on the invite to anyone who might be interested!

You will also have a last-chance to enter the IdeaSpace Challenge at this event... the purpose of the IdeaSpace Challenge is to foster collaboration and entrepreneurship around sustainable and market-based solutions for addressing development needs. You just need to fill out a simple form and answer a few questions about your idea in one of the two Challenge fields (1: mobile technology; or 2: sustainable energy), and be eligible to win prizes!

The awards will be given at the GEW-Lebanon closing ceremony on Sunday, Nov 23, at 7:30pm also at the MENA ICT Conference Hall at Termium Tech Expo in BIEL.

Civil society and development workers, technologists, and entrepreneurs are all invited to take part in both!
