'Finale day' to take place later this month
Fourteen finalists from across the world will visit our shores next week to pitch their solutions to improve the Isle of Man through AI, Cleantech, and Fintech innovations.
It's all part of Digital Isle of Man's 'Innovation Challenge', which has attracted businesses ranging from start-up companies, to global giants like Mercedes-Benz.
Entries have targeted issues in education all the way through to environmental challenges.
Kurt Roosen is Head of Innovation at Digital Isle of Man.
He says the Island is gaining attention as somewhere companies want to come to platform their initiatives:
