Guest post by Raymond McConville with Verizon corporate media relations’ team.
With great power, comes great responsibility. As the operator of some of the most advanced wireless and broadband networks in the world, Verizon has the power to transform lives, and the responsibility to make the world we live in a better place.
It’s with that mindset that we launched the Powerful Answers Award at the International CES this week in Las Vegas. With $10 million total in prize money, the Powerful Answers Award will be a year-long competition to challenge the best technology minds in the industry to develop wireless, wireline, or cloud-based solutions that address issues in health care, education and sustainability.
We know the small business community is full of just the innovative minds we’re looking for. Have an idea for a mobile app that will make the delivery of health care faster and more effective? Or perhaps a broadband service that makes a home or office building more energy efficient? Verizon wants to hear your business plan.
The Powerful Answers Award will launch on March 31. Applicants can go to www.powerfulanswersaward.com at that time for all the submission guidelines and rules. Winners will be announced at the CES next year.
Good luck if you enter!
