Our Frontier Technology Livestreaming portfolio has just doubled!

We opened our second call for entries on the 26th April and before we knew it, the deadline had arrived and we were in Dragon’s Den pitch sessions… with the unenviable task of selecting projects to take forward from a very impressive set of submissions.

We’ll be sharing more updates about each of these projects and how they progress, but for now, here they are:

Humanitarian Supply Blockchain

Frontier Infrastructure Management
Integrating UAVs, remote sensing and crowdsourcing to plan and monitor rural infrastructure

Digital Marketplace Mozambique

Humanitarian Feedback in Ethiopia
