The Ingenuity Point is the intersection of 3 factors:

  • Your expertise and passion in the field of software
    development
  • Innovative technology solutions built using Microsoft
    technologies
  • The ability to solve global issues and drive positive change

When these factors converge at The Ingenuity Point, inspiration
meets innovation and the result is powerful technology solutions
for the world’s most urgent issues:

  • Software that hunts down cures and vaccines to the most
    puzzling diseases.
  • Online programs that connect school children in developing countries to educational resources and peers.
  • Clean technologies that keep progress rolling without
    stressing the planet.

Technology drives positive change. Passionate, dedicated
developers (that’s you) drive technology. In other words, the
world needs your ideas.

It’s an international contest that invites you, a software development
company, or an Independent Software Vendor (ISV), to share your
innovative solution(s) within one of these 3 Verticals: Healthcare,
Education, or Clean Technology (Environment). This is your chance to tell the world how you’re helping to tackle environmental concerns, improve healthcare, or even decrease illiteracy worldwide.

It’s also an opportunity to position your company as an industry leader and introduce your technology solutions to a worldwide audience.
