New CivTech Challenge launches to tackle digital exclusion

We’re excited to announce a late-breaking, fast-track Challenge — the final opportunity to join our CivTech Round 11 cohort.

Challenge 11.9 is now live, focusing on reducing digital exclusion by helping people safely identify, access, and engage with essential online services. We’re looking for bold, innovative solutions that can remove barriers and make a real impact.

This opportunity is open to everyone — individuals, startups, established businesses, academic groups, charities, and community organisations. Successful applicants could secure a contract of up to £1,000,000 (plus VAT) to turn their idea into reality and help shape Scotland’s digital future. Find out more here.
