THEMESPECIFIC CHALLENGEINITIAL IDEASScopingApplicationWeekendIncubationFINALISTS

Creation weekend a mash up between hack, accelerator and challenge prizeJudging CriteriaInnovationSocial ImpactOpen DataSustainableADD TOP TIPS FOR product improvement

Innovation

Projects will be judged on whether they represent a substantive new and innovative contribution. We are looking for completely new products, technologies, or services or improvements to existing solutions, combining or implementing these in new ways.

Likely Social Impact

Projects will be judged on the extent to which they can demonstrate how they would have a concrete social impact in relation to the challenge problem. Projects will need to be able to give an account of the likely impact on the challenge problem. For instance by providing a logical reason, or set of reasons, for why their products/service could have impact on the challenge problem, and why that would be an improvement on the current situation; andideally gather data openly to demonstrate the product or service making an impact.

Extent of use of open data

Projects will be judged on their use of open data, in particular:the extent to which it is incorporated into their product / service, andhow effectively it is used in the service, and in relation to criteria 1, whether this is an innovative use of open datathe extent to which new open data sources are generated as a (by)product of their project

Potential market and sustainability

Projects will be judged on how well they have tailored their product or service to a potential market and how well they have understood the opportunities in this market. The extent to which teams can show the potential and/or specific opportunity for growth and the development of a sustainable business model will also be considered. Whether the solutions are easy to understand and affordable for consumers will also be taken into consideration.

CAPTURE CREATE CONNECT

@cityradaruk@iansavageThe realityEvery organisation aiming to attract any type of visitor, has a need.

Whether they are cultural and heritage organisations, visitor focused, retail, even catering and hospitality .

Knowing who their customers are and who they could be is fundamental to sustainability however that sustainability is defined..

The challengeLimited time, money, capability to research and understand their environment properly and open data isnt easy to find or interpret;

A consistent approach to sourcing data, targeting customers proactively and using this information as a live evaluation and marketing framework is very rare..

But this is exactly what is needed within such a competitive environment- disposable income is scarce, funding is being reduced and funders are expecting much more demonstrable social impact to ensure their support.

Current approach

Key featuresEasy to use Software as a Service (SaaS) becoming a dynamic system, as well as becoming a platform for developing other data driven services rolled out City by City;

It will be used on a daily basis. Each user will then add what is relevant to them onto their radar, by utilising a wide range of data sources; and

The outcome will be more targeted, data driven approaches to encouraging visitation including hard to reach groups as well as tracking the success of cities and regions in one place, dynamically, across a range of economic, social and environmental impacts.

Key data sourcesOpen data easily accessed, well visualised piloting NIs Open Data portal this year;

Proactive data capture daily surveys, capturing of audience information and sharing it; and

Dynamic displays of the online conversation by city, also weather and currency

Our business modelWin the Competition and pilot our site in Belfast initially;Strategy:Make current static audience approach obsolete; andHelp funders, policy makers and attractions maximise social, economic and environmental impact through better use and capture of data.

Our business modelFinance cost effective, fremium to premium pricing strategy;

Operations easy to use, backed up by consultancy, training and support;

People attractions use existing staff to capture data;

Our business modelBe local pilot in Belfast, rollout across other cities with local teams aim for at least 30 cities within five years; and

Be scalable City Radar as a city focused platform for further areas of interest.
