Los Angeles, United States - January 10, 2018 /PressCable/ —
Omnikron Systems, Inc. is proud to partner with HeroX to present a fascinating webinar on January 16, 2018 that delves into the reality of crowdsourced contests. These corporate contests are an exciting way for organizations of any size to use the power of the crowd to solve a variety of large and small problems while generating awareness, engagement, media attention and positive exposure. In this new webinar produced by Omnikron, HeroX co-founder and CEO Christian Cotichini explains how crowdsourced challenges work, how companies benefit, and how easy it is to get started with the HeroX challenge model.
Some background on corporate challenges and incentive prizes:
On October 21, 2004, Scaled Composites’ SpaceShipOne reached the edge of space, an altitude of 100km, becoming the first privately built spacecraft to perform this feat, twice within two weeks. In so doing, they won the $10 million Ansari XPRIZE, ushering in a new era of commercial space exploration and applications. It was the inaugural incentive prize competition of the XPRIZE Foundation, which has gone on to create an incredible array of incentive prizes to solve the world’s Grand Challenges — ocean health, literacy, space exploration, among many others.
HeroX was co-founded in 2013 by XPRIZE founder Peter Diamandis, challenge designer Emily Fowler and entrepreneur Christian Cotichini as a means to democratize the innovation model of XPRIZE.
Today, HeroX is the world’s premier crowd-based challenge company. HeroX helps organizations use crowdsourcing, competition and collaboration to drive social innovation through contests and challenges. Some 2018 HeroX challenges include the GoFly Challenge, which will award a two million dollar prize for the creation of a “safe, useful and thrilling personal flying device”; the Aging Innovation Challenge, which awards $50,000 for developing prototypes that assist aging New Yorkers and their caregivers in activities of daily living; the Design a GIF for Good Challenge, which awards $5,000 for a GIF that raises awareness of “Technology for Good”; the Cocoa-Cola Sweetener Challenge, which offers one million dollars for the development of a “natural, safe, low- or no-calorie compound that generates the taste sensation of sugar when used in beverages and foods.”
On January 16, 2018, at 11:30am PST, webinar attendees will have a chance to join Christian Cotichini, HeroX CEO, and discover exactly how the power of the crowd works to solve problems, create positive awareness and media buzz, while promoting engagement, innovation and creativity. Registration for this event is free with only 100 seats available on a first come, first serve basis.
