The competition will last nine months and choose 15-20 projects to be implemented.<\/p>\n<p>According to Viktor Lyakh, president of the East Europe Foundation, there will be competition stages. Survey of social needs will be conducted and priorities identified at the first stage. The next stage, stimulation, will take place in May, involving discussion of the main ideas. Following this, \u201ccreative weekends\u201d will take place. \u201cThis is informal communication, informal work to make the ideas permanent, engage the biggest number of people to cooperation, get understanding of the ways of engaging users and building long-standing model for making decisions in future,\u201d explained Lyakh. After that, an independent jury will choose finalists. The following stage, incubation, will include intensive three days\u2019 training, following which the teams will present their business plans to the jury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUkrainian youngsters are eager to create. We can see they want to create changes with their own hands. Only technologies can become a platform for these changes,\u201d said Valeriy Fishchuk, Cisco Ukraine regional manager. According to him, Ukraine has enormous human resource, regularly hitting 50 top countries list in Global Innovation Index. \u201c[Such projects] are very important to involve young specialists of civil society into E-governance development. We can see that anything created in the world, any changes are done by young people using advanced mobile technology,\u201d believes Penko Dinev, Country General Manager, IBM Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Four regional centers are functioning within the framework of EGAP CHALLENGE: SpaceHub in Dnipropetrovsk, IHub in Vinnytsia, ImpactHub in Odesa and Local Development Fund in Lutsk. The competition takes place with support and financing of Switzerland.
