Wireless Week noted that Vodafone has announced its Wireless Innovation Project, an initiative that seeks to identify and fund the best innovations using wireless related technology to “address critical social issues around the world.”

Wireless technologies like, say, a mobile application perhaps?

Not only do you get to design, build and publish a mobile application for the good of the earth and its people, you can also win some cash. And, you can build your application using our software.  With Breeze, you’ll be able to get your app up and running with the potential to run on billions of phones, and the distribution and porting problem solved out of the gate.

The new competition will award three winners prizes of $300,000, $200,000 and $100,000 for unique, late-stage wireless innovations that offer the best potential for creating social change in the areas of education, health, economic development, the environment and access to communication.

Eligible projects must demonstrate a multi-disciplinary approach that uses an innovation in wireless related technology to address a critical global issue and has the potential for replication and large scale impact. Applicants must also have a business plan or basic framework for financial sustainability and rollout.

Interested in developing a mobile application for a good cause?

Let us know how we can help and good luck.
