Djezzy, one of Algeria’s leading telecommunications providers, has launched the Open Innovation Challenge 2025—branded as the “Impact Challenge”—to accelerate digital inclusion and responsible innovation across the country. This initiative invites a diverse pool of participants, including startups, microenterprises, engineers, students, researchers, and professionals undergoing career transitions, to develop technological solutions that address pressing social challenges. The goal is to connect underserved communities to the opportunities of digital transformation while fostering a more equitable and sustainable digital ecosystem.
The challenge focuses on impactful innovation in areas such as urbanization, sustainability, and access to essential digital services. Participants are encouraged to submit proposals that demonstrate originality, feasibility, technological depth, and alignment with Djezzy’s strategic priorities. Winning projects will receive a grant of 200,000 Algerian dinars, along with mentorship, access to Djezzy’s technical resources, and integration into its partner network. This support is designed to help innovators accelerate experimentation, bring their solutions to market, and scale their impact across Algeria.
By launching this challenge, Djezzy aims to strengthen the country’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and co-create transformative solutions with local talent. The initiative reflects a broader commitment to responsible innovation—one that prioritizes social and environmental impact alongside technological advancement. It also positions Djezzy as a catalyst for inclusive growth, empowering communities through digital access and fostering collaboration between startups, institutions, and experts.
As Algeria continues to embrace digital transformation, the Impact Challenge serves as a dynamic platform for harnessing creativity and ingenuity to bridge socio-economic gaps. It underscores the belief that innovation, when guided by purpose and inclusivity, can be a powerful force for national progress. Through this bold initiative, Djezzy is not only investing in technology but also in the people and ideas that will shape Algeria’s digital future.
