Ideation Challenge: New Methods to Identify Illegal Seafood
Species substitution is the most frequent fraudulent action facing the seafood industry. Mislabeling can happen at various points in the supply chain, from point of catch, through the processing and distribution process, ultimately affecting the consumer adversely. Globally speaking, combating fish fraud is difficult as no individual authority is responsible for regulating and tracking the entire process. To help protect the reputation and value of seafood products, NEOM is looking for an authentication solution that can be integrated from customs inspection to the consumer’s plate. Solutions that also capture information related to safety, quality, point of origin and catch/farming methods are an additional bonus.
Internet Society’s Mid Career Fellowship
No challenge in today’s society stands in isolation. The interconnected nature of our world means that a global pandemic influences the world-wide supply chain. Climate change impacts economic growth and decline. Digital divides contribute to societal unrest, and societal unrest leads to digital divides.
Anticipating, adapting to and embracing change brought on by technological advancement requires far greater understanding of the myriad of interconnected forces that shape our societies and economies.
The Mid Career Fellowship provides today’s leaders with the know-how to navigate volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, knowing that their purpose, livelihood, and organizational goals are influenced or impacted by the Internet.

Gelia Castillo Award for Research on Social Innovations in Health (GCARSIH)
The Gelia Castillo Award for Research on Social Innovations in Health (GCARSIH) aims to recognize the outstanding social innovations that address persistent, societal and health systems challenges. Through the innovators’ experience, we can better understand why and how social innovations create impact, and discover the keys to scale up or integrate these effective interventions into the larger health system.
This Award is open to ongoing social innovations in health developed by Filipinos for the Filipinos. The entry must be implemented in the Philippines.
For the purposes of this Award, social innovations in health (SIH) are defined as new solutions (product, services, models, market mechanisms, processes) created by multi-sectoral health system actors. The solutions must address a health need more effectively than existing approaches, and have the ability to enhance people’s capacity to act and take ownership of their own health. Social innovations have health-system changing potential as it changes and strengthens relationships between people and results in a more effective use of available resources.
