The CoreTech Foundation would like all innovators to know that you DO NOT need technical, programming experience to submit your App for Humanity Concept! CoreTech is here to help you make your idea a reality! Have a look at the submissions guidelines to get a better idea.

Some of the questions for your submission include:

  • enable mobile transactions via SMS CoreTech's CORE.
     

4. What makes your solution different from existing solutions that aim to address this problem?

If it's a novel idea, what makes it novel? If it builds on/adapts an existing idea, how does it add to that idea?

5. Describe the practical usability of your solution.

How can it be used by specific users to achieve the goals you've identified?

6. How complex is your solution?

It's not a bad thing if your solution is complex. We would simply like to see how you've worked the solution out in your head.
