Chipmaker seeks entries that are sustainable, innovative -- and Intel-based If you’ve got an idea rolling around inside your head for a technological approach to helping the environment, improving education, spurring economic development, or advancing health care, Intel might have $100,000 for you. Just make sure your solution has Intel inside.Earlier this month, the chipmaker announced its Inspire-Empower Challenge though which it’s calling on individuals and organizations to put forth “the best technology solutions to address four areas of global need – education, healthcare, economic development, and the environment.” Winners for each category will receive $100,000 in seed money to transform their vision into reality.According to the contest rules, entries will be judged on several criteria, including sustainability (the entry should be self-sustaining within two years); innovativeness; the ability to scale with volume adoption; and, of course, “the use of Intel-based technology.” (That clause reminds me of Yahoo’s “Greenest City in America” contest last year, which was based on how many people from a given town or city used specific Yahoo services.) The deadline to register is Sept. 30 of this year. The submission deadline is Jan. 31; winners will be announced April 8. For more information, go to Technology Industry
