“This initiative is a call to action for individuals around the world to become global citizens and join forces to tackle the greatest challenges of our times and co-create impactful and innovative lasting solutions that carry us beyond Covid-19.” says Salar Chagpar, CEO & Chief Visioneer of Prepr.Recognizing that the post-pandemic world of work and learning will be fundamentally different than before, Prepr has developed four Open Labs, including Business, Education, Community, and Prevention. These also tie into the UN Sustainable Development Goals, that participants are being asked to consider in their project submission. Open Labs are virtual collaborative spaces accessible through the Prepr App for building teams, working on solutions, and discussing challenges.During the nearly six-week open challenge call, individuals and teams will be given access to key resources from Prepr’s PIE Solver Program, as well as webinars and other resources from partner organizations. This will facilitate the development of more refined and lasting solutions. Winning teams will be provided with additional resources to scale and commercialize their proposed solutions.More information on getting involved as a participant is here: https://prepr.org/Covid-19/About Prepr:Prepr provides both the tools, resources and technology to empower individuals to become lifelong problem solvers. Through triangular cooperation between the public and private sectors as well as government, we aim to strengthen the collaboration on challenges that affect individuals, communities, businesses, and infrastructure, creating a more sustainable future for everyone.
