Win up to $ 5000 with Houloul 2030: Community Innovation Incubator

This challenge allows participants to participate in creating a better world and address the educational, economic, and social challenges facing our communities as well as compete for a $5,000 grant to develop digital solutions that can be tested. The idea is simple: 20 change-makers and social entrepreneurs will be divided into six teams, competing for three grants of $5,000 each to develop digital solutions that can be tested.
