Is your app a winner? Enter The Ericsson Application Awards 2014
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Developers, startups and anyone who has an idea for a great app, here is
your opportunity
* The theme for 2014 is Apps for Working Life, and there will be a global
competition and several regional competitions
* First prize is EUR 25,000, second prize is EUR 10,000, and special
recognition for innovation supporting Technology for Good. Third to 10th
prize diplomas and honorary mentions
This is the fifth consecutive year that Ericsson announces The Ericsson
Application Awards. Students and small- and medium-sized enterprises from
anywhere in the world are invited to submit Android and iOS apps.
This competition will give you and your team the opportunity to gain a foothold
in the app industry, while also earning recognition and making contacts within
the telecom industry.
There will be two categories for this contest - one for students, and one for
small- and medium-sized enterprises with fewer than 100 employees.
The theme of the 2014 competition is Apps for Working Life, in support of
Ericsson's vision of a Networked Society in which - through a combination of
mobility, broadband, the cloud, applications and services - anything and
everything is connected. How can apps help us all in our daily working life both
now and in the future? How do we contribute to making the next generation of
working life a context where people can better innovate, collaborate and balance
life outside work?
In the Networked Society, Ericsson is the leading advocate of Technology for
Good and we encourage innovation to help meet sustainability challenges. The
Technology for Good award of EEA 14 will recognize achievement in this area.
The winner of the student category in 2013 was Portugal's GreenSpark, which
offered a solution based on energy efficiency with a truly global reach. The
UK's TboxApps was the winner in the company category. Their solution was based
on usage patterns in order to get access to instant messages and quickly get
help.
In all, 192 teams took part in the 2013 competition (compared with 143 in 2012)
from 52 countries.
