The Stockholm Challenge
A Global Arena for Pioneering IT Projects
The Stockholm Challenge is a unique awards programme for pioneering IT
projects world wide. It is a way of building networks between entrepreneurs
who will benefit from contacts across borders, cultures and economies. The
Stockholm Challenge focuses on the positive effects of today’s information
society, and the benefit information and communication technology can bring
people and society. The technology itself is not the issue, but the benefit IT
can bring people, society and the environment, used in a creative way within
the local context. The big challenge is to bridge the digital divide.
The Stockholm Challenge 2001 has 7 categories. The jury, a group of 28
international senior experts, base their evaluation on the following four
criteria:
-
Innovation
-
User Need
-
Sustainability
-
Transferability
Special attention is given to projects that promote democracy, counteract
segregation and discrimination or support gender equality. But The Stockholm
Challenge is not only a competition, it is a meeting place for people who
share a vision about the future. In the Challenge everybody is a winner!
The Stockholm Challenge Award 2001 Final Events, including workshops,
seminars, exhibition and prize-giving ceremony will take place in September
2001, during the TIME.STOCKHOLM period, when Stockholm is filled with
activities within Telecom. IT, Media and Entertainment!
