Cities around the world can fill out a short initial entry form by 18 September 2023, after which ten cities will be shortlisted, and receive a range of capacity-building support in how to design and run an open innovation challenge.
At the next stage, three cities will be selected as partners to host a $3 million challenge in 2024, with direct support and engagement from the Sustainable Cities Challenge team. Below are a few examples of how cities could benefit from taking part in this initiative:
