Partnerships
The initiative will offer different partnership models. The main distinction will be between the sponsors, who will support the initiative generally and fund its operations, then between the challenge backers, who will financially contribute to the specific challenge (facilitation, communications and prize money) and challenge partners or owners, who will contribute to each challenge with their expertise and experience. In some cases, one partner can have multiple roles (support the initiative in general, fund the prize money and also contribute with expertise as the challenge owner), but in some cases the challenge backers can support the challenge financially and the challenge owners like think-tanks or municipalities with their knowledge and experience.
