Calling UK's Green IT Entrepreneurs
CODE_n13 Contest Seeks Digital Pioneers
London, 13 September 2012, CODE_n13 Contest: Win up to 30,000 Euros and the chance to show off your concept at CeBIT, the world’s largest IT expo.
With the motto “Smart Solutions for Global Challenges”, the international CODE_n13 Contest is looking for innovative green ideas from entrepreneurs and digital pioneers that will quite literally change the way we live.
CODE_n13 is seeking IT-based concepts for sustainable energy supply and usage. These could be issues like the intelligent distribution of energy thanks to smart grids, clean-tech approaches to maximising efficiency, or electro-mobility as an example of alternative energy concepts; the scope of related topics also includes modern management concepts for electricity supply in cities and buildings. Whether products, services or methods, everything counts as long as it serves to optimise energy usage!
The 50 best solutions will take to the stage at CeBIT Hanover, Germany, in March of 2013. Cash prizes totalling up to 30,000 Euros will be awarded to the most cutting edge designs. CODE_n is sponsored by GFT Technologies AG, Ernst & Young GmbH and the Deutsche Messe AG.
All companies that have completed at least one business transaction and were founded in or after 2006 are eligible to enter. Companies can register online at www.code-n.org. The deadline for submissions is 18 November 2012.
