IBBT is launching a new competition today, called INCA (INnovative & Creative Applications) as IBBT want to invest heavily in innovation and human talent. € 20.000 of total prize money is up for grabs for creative minds ready to face the challenge!

The applications will have to be developed on purpose by April 26th. They will receive high visibility online and on the iMinds conference, May 12th (www.iminds.be).

Dries Buytaert, Clo Willaerts, Robin Wauters, Luc Tayart de Borms and Bart Beckx will pick their brains to select the winners! A combination of usefulness (to the citizens, visitors and government of Flanders), appeal (design & usability) and originality will play a role in their evaluation.

We hope to hear from you soon!

Develop a new ICT application addressing collective needs and challenges in Flanders! The INCA Award ceremony will be held at the iMinds conference (May 12th, 2009 in Ghent)

Why INCA?
Our collective, social and environmental problems of today need innovative and creative answers, which are unlikely to come from the government only. Now is the time to invest in innovation and human talent.
Following the example of Apps for democracy, INCA is looking for both local and international talent eager to take on the challenge of demonstrating that new forms of innovation are possible and do result in successes when put into practice. Let’s prove that we can take on this challenge!

We look forward to your participation in INCA and hope you help us spread the message!
