MTN Ghana has launched the 5th edition of the Apps Challenge Version 5.0.
The MTN Apps Challenge which was introduced into Ghana in 2013 is aimed at empowering people to use digital technology to solve pertinent issues. Aside the creation of locally relevant apps, participants are taken through a process to help them commercialize these apps.
Themed "Empowering the Youth in Developing Innovative digital Progress", this year's edition will see two new additions-- the best female project and the katAppult innitiative.
According to Mr. Asher Khan, Chief Marketing Officer of MTN Ghana, these additions were made as a result of an evaluation that suggested that in the previous years, the competition was male dominated.
The previous versions of the competition have seen very innovative apps such as Amatsii and many more.
