Innovation Saskatchewan, in partnership with the Saskatchewan Construction Safety Association, is launching the latest Innovation Challenge, aimed at creating healthy, safe and productive workplaces in the construction industry.

Technology startups, entrepreneurs, researchers and/or students are being asked how can technology be used by the construction industry to identify hazards and reduce injuries?

Selected submissions will be shortlisted based on the highest potential to solve the problem, and a pitch competition will determine the winner. Winners will receive funding of up to $10,000 and a 16-week residency to develop their solution in collaboration with the Saskatchewan Construction Safety Association. After that, a Demonstration Day will showcase their solution.

A public information session will be held virtually on July 6. The deadline for submission is July 14. Further information on times will be posted on Innovation Saskatchewan’s website.
