Vodafone Americas Wireless Innovation Project opens for entries

The Vodafone Americas Foundation is again joining with the mHealth Alliance to award innovation in wireless technology. Projects should be global in scope, company should be based in the US, and the technology must be at a stage of research where an advanced prototype or field/market test can occur during the award period. There will be four awards: three from Vodafone with first, second and third-place prizes worth $300,000, $200,000 and $100,000 respectively; and the mHealth Alliance Award of $50,000 plus strategic support. Proposals will be accepted through 31 December with awards next April. For details about eligibility and the application, see project.vodafone-us.com. Release.
