Overview

They are asking teams to develop products and services which answer the question:

How can we use open data to engage more people, and more diverse people, in UK Heritage and Culture?

The winner of the Challenge will receive £50,000 equity-free funding to further develop their product.

The challenge invites teams from existing businesses, startups, social enterprises and community groups to use open data to build products and services. In particular, we are interested in products and services which deliver value to people who are not well-served by current heritage and culture offers. In addition, we are also interested in business to business propositions and new approaches which use open data to support institutions and organisations to expand their reach to new and diverse people. All products and services developed as part of this Challenge must use at least one open data dataset published by a UK public body.
