You could be chosen to form part of a six-month design thinking programme and win your share of R100 000 in grant funding to develop your concept further. But hurry, entries close on 31 October 2021.

		<description><![CDATA[Imagine an urban aquaponics farm that feeds local communities? Or an App that allows you to share information about poor road conditions? Or even, an electrical grid storage battery… These concepts are not so far off from being realised, thanks to the RE:SOLVE Challenge. South Africa is full of untapped ideas that hold the potential to solve for the pressing challenges experienced by the people who live here. This &#8211; combined with the impact of COVID-19 on the country, which revealed a deep necessity to re-examine and re-imagine how we do things &#8211; is what sparked the RE:SOLVE Challenge. This purpose-led, design thinking challenge, which calls on the entrepreneurial and creative spirit of South Africans to rebuild and pave the way forward, was launched in October 2020. RE:SOLVE is now in its 2nd iteration, with the new 2021 Call for Entry open until 31 October 2021. Funded by the City of Cape Town, and organised by the Craft and Design Institute (CDI), RE:SOLVE invites individuals and teams to co-create bold and innovative solutions with a focus on areas such as transport, hygiene, food security, education, medical care, retail and micro-enterprises. The top big ideas that are identified through the challenge [...]]]></description>
