CrowdBots – Using hybrid intelligence to extract value from smaller datasets in biomedical…
When artificial intelligence (AI) is unable to achieve required accuracy levels in biomedical analysis involving very large data sets, the models are often discarded and the research is severely hindered. To solve this problem we created a crowd-powered citizen science game, Stall Catchers, to integrate the cognition of public volunteers with AI methods to achieve rapid, expert-like analysis of Alzheimer's research data aimed at accelerating the discovery of a therapeutic treatment.
The Busan Port Authority (BPA) has completed the two innovative projects utilizing the features of sea port, one is ‘piezoelectric power generation system’ and the other is ‘construction wastes recycling project’. Both the piezoelectric power and the recycled construction wastes have been assessed not only to contribute to the improvement of environment, but also, to reduce construction cost. The BPA plans to share the gained outcomes of those projects with other domestic and foreign…

Aides Jeunes – Social aid and benefits simulator for individuals and those who accompany them.
Aides Jeunes, the aid simulator on the 1jeune1solution.gouv.fr website, was developed to combat the lack of access to rights in France. In just a few minutes, it allows people to see what aid they are entitled to, and to facilitate their aid application process. To date, it contains more than 700 forms of assistance and allows 80,000 people to be directed each month.
In order to implement innovative solutions in the city of Córdoba under an open innovation approach, the local government launched the Córdoba Smart City Fund, the first Govtech fund in Latin America, to invest and partner with impact startups that contribute to the development of a smarter, more inclusive and sustainable city.
The General Ombudsman Office/CISET/SG/PR (OUVPR) is considered, by part of the population, the highest instance of support for solving problems of access to public services. Among the different social profiles that seek assistance, a large portion of "digitally excluded" stands out; according to IBGE (2018) they represent 25.3% of the Brazilian population. The innovation was due to the unprecedented automation of the process, enabling isonomic treatment of the demands of the "digitally…
