Program · Tech Fronts
Challenge-based innovation, by sector.
A Tech Front is a sector-specific innovation program. It convenes the partners who own the problem, the builders who can prototype against it, and the buyers who can deploy what works.
The shape
Stronger than a hackathon. Slower than an incubator.
A Tech Front runs over six to nine months. It begins with a deeply scoped challenge brief, co-authored with sector partners. Selected teams then prototype, test in context, and present working solutions to the people who can put them into production.
Challenge brief
Co-authored with ministries, corporates and operators.
Cohort build
Selected teams prototype in context — not in a slide deck.
Field trial
Solutions tested with real users in real settings.
Procurement bridge
Working products handed to the partners who can buy them.
