With a different theme each year, the competition calls for innovators, entrepreneurs, students and community members to submit their bright ideas to solve the challenge. It is designed to tap into the creativity and expertise of our community, and stimulate new ideas and effective solutions.
Participants are encouraged to incorporate data and emerging technology into their ideas to address common urban challenges.
This year, the theme for the Open Innovation Competition was ‘zero-carbon and climate technology’. We invited the community to find practical and innovative ways to make the City of Melbourne more sustainable and combat climate change.
