Governments today face a range of complex social challenges – from fraud involving digital passport photos to serious organised crime. They are actively seeking smart, innovative solutions to address these issues. Could your organisation be the forward-thinking partner they are looking for? The latest challenges from Startup in Residence (SiR) Intergov are now open for applications.
If you’d like to see whether your solution addresses any of these challenges, have a look at the 13 social issues listed on the SiR Intergov website (Dutch).
Organisations participating
In this round, various government bodies are eager to collaborate with innovative parties. The provinces of South Holland, North Brabant and Limburg are participating, as are the municipality of The Hague, the Ministry of Justice and Security (JenV) and the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations (BZK). There will also be guest participants, such as the municipality of Eindhoven and the National Office for Identity Data (RvIG).
SiR Intergov
SiR Intergov is a tailor-made programme offering coaching, workshops and expert sessions. It is a partnership between several government organisations. Through this programme, innovative parties get to work with the government on sustainable, scalable innovations. To do so, they can use government resources and an innovation budget of up to €25,000. This way, government organisations obtain creative, effective solutions to their challenges.
More about the programme can be found on the SiR Intergov website (Dutch).
