For those interested, the competition is open to everyone. In particular, students of higher educational institutions, as well as students of general education and secondary special education, are welcome to participate. Contestants are supposed to develop a mobile application for the public sector in the areas of transport and logistics, data-based decisions, education, entrepreneurship, human resources and welfare, ecology and green energy, and tourism. The winners will receive a cash prize, recognition, and an opportunity to work on future governmental projects.
The prize allocated for the winners comprises a total of $100,000, including $50,000 for first place, $30,000 for second place, and $20,000 for third place.
