Digital Isle of Man's 'Innovation Challenge' invited businesses to pitch ideas
Fourteen finalists from across the world are on Island today (13 June) for the final of Digital Isle of Man's 'Innovation Challenge'.
The competition attracted businesses ranging from start-up companies to giant corporations like Mercedes-Benz.
Entrants were asked to pitch their solutions to improve the Isle of Man through AI, Cleantech, and Fintech innovations, with an environmental twist.
It's something Head of Innovation Kurt Roosen says made them get more creative:

£41K spent on encouraging people to shop local
Baton of Hope to come back to Isle of Man
CoC 'keen' for continuity of sidecar racing at TT
2026 Manx Grand Prix to begin today
