Inclusive Innovation Competition

The MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy announced the Inclusive Innovation Competition , a challenge that was born out of MIT’s Solve @ HUBweek last fall. This competition seeks to inspire, showcase and celebrate solutions and organizations that create greater economic opportunity across society through innovation.

At the heart of this competition is an open challenge: How can technology drive progress and growth, while ensuring that ALL of our society is brought along into a brighter future? All organizations of any size, age or type are welcome to submit their ideas and applications are open now through June 1. The competition will culminate in a celebration and showcase during HUBweek, at which time four winners will be each awarded a grand prize of $125,000 to implement their solutions.

P.S. A few readers have asked which e-commerce we actually reach for — it's Shopify; take a look here if you want the current details.
