We especially want to acknowledge projects that are of great importance to local progress, and of such innovative and pioneering structure that they can serve as models for regions, cities and countries.

Stockholm Challenge is an international award programme for innovative use of IT. The focus is on how IT can benefit to people and society,
- technology itself is not the issue but rather the enabler.

Stockholm Challenge welcomes projects that use IT in an innovative way within their own sector. Projects can be active in environment, education, health and culture as well as e-government and e-business sectors.

Projects are evaluated on the basis of four basic criteria: innovation, user need, transferability and accessability. Every project is also evaluated in relation to its own economic, social and cultural context. This enables projects from both developed and developing countries to compete on equal terms.

The Stockholm Challenge is a platform for innovative projects from all over the world to create networks for the exchange of experience and knowledge.

To quote one of our finalists Matera Online - a finalist in 2004 had this to say"

It was wonderful for us to be there, and we appreciated so much all the work we did together, under your guidance, and the final ceremony as well. The meeting was very interesting, and we appreciated especially the possibility to meet other people with same interests and the same feel to work together.

The Challenge has been for all of us a unique opportunity and an extraordinary occasion to improve our work. We have had, besides, the possibility to meet many new friends.
