Phase 1 submission deadline: June 5, 2024

Submit 500 words abstract by 5 June 2024 for Phase I

Calling all innovators to enter the 2024 IEEE Connecting the Unconnected
Challenge!

Help IEEE contribute to worldwide digital inclusion by submitting a novel,
early-stage project (proof-of-concept) or concept that offers unique ways
to increase Internet access and usage for the 2.9 billion unconnected
people around the world. The global 2024 IEEE Connecting the Unconnected
Challenge is now open for submissions of unique solutions to bridge the
digital divide. Deadline is 5 June 2024.

Internet access is critical to education, industry, and healthy living.
Unconnected populations lack access to buy and sell goods and services
online. Unconnected students lack access to the flourishing remote
education market. The IEEE Connecting the Unconnected Challenge seeks to
further connectivity by calling for early-stage projects and concepts that
pursue unique ways to increase broadband access and usage for unconnected
or under-connected populations/geographies.

Start-ups, grassroots organizations, universities, and others working
toward digital inclusion in original ways are encouraged to participate.
Read the competition rules and learn about how to enter your novel projects
at the CTU website: https://ctu.ieee.org/

Important dates:

Phase 1 submission opening: April 12, 2024

Phase 1 submission closing: June 5, 2024

The 2024 CTU Challenge will continue with a "Best Overall Gender Inclusion"
award. This award will go to the Proof-of-Concept or Concept track
contestant in any category (TA, BM, or CE) whose project or solution makes
a significant impact or effort in closing the gender digital divide.
Applicants will have an opportunity during Phases 2 and 3 of the
competition to demonstrate how they have focused on gender inclusion within
various KPIs, and generally. For more information, be sure to read the
Contest Rules and Call for Participation.

Additionally, all contestants who make it to Phase 2 will have the
opportunity to submit ideas for possible standard proposal for how they
might further address the digital divide in the future.
