Invitech Support for Non-Profit Organizations

This year, non-profit organisations have again been given the opportunity to receive financial and professional support to implement their innovative ideas. The ICT service provider Invitech has launched its eleventh InnoMax Award, which continues to focus on sustainability, health, education and inclusion, but for the first time also includes support for digital education equipment.

The prizes are decided by a prestigious jury, but this time, an NGO can win a major grant with the votes of the general public also.

The call for proposals is open to project ideas in the 4+1 themes mentioned above, which use innovative ICT or information technology solutions to serve a useful societal purpose, or which are environmentally beneficial, or, in the case of the new category, which are also tools for such purposes. At the end of the previous phase, prizes were awarded for an alarm system for volunteer firefighters, an online sign language training program, an online educational board game for disadvantaged children and an accessible digital examination platform.

"As an ICT service provider, we have seen from the front line the challenges that this year has presented to large companies or the SME sector. We have also seen that the technical conditions and IT security of mass home working, teleworking and teamworking, and for example the transfer of part of commerce to the online space, have not been a problem for most operators, given the right professional partner. However, some NPOs may need financial support in addition to technical assistance. This is where the InnoMax Prize comes into play, allowing NGOs, foundations and associations to use grant funding to strengthen or even renew their activities in an innovative way, even in the midst of a global epidemic," Deputy CEO of Corporate Sales at Invitech, László Marton said .
