Alaska Center ICE will be hosting a series of challenges for the Alaska innovation community to help solve.

The challenge topic areas include health technology, blue ocean innovations, environmental and climate change solutions, and energy and logistics — problems that matter to Alaska's future economy and Alaskans wellbeing.

Each Community Challenge will bring Alaska partners together to help identify the challenge topics and the criteria for competition winners.

Community Challenge winners will receive funding and assistance to work with partners to advance their ideas for further evaluation and validation. The first challenge will be in health care and will be announced in February.

Please contact us if you have a challenge area you think would be interesting for UA students and the Alaska community. Some sample competitions and updates can be found here.
