Winning concepts

Congratulations to the 10 winning concepts of our Maternal Health challenge!

It's been an amazing 3 month journey of fantastic inspirations, great concepts and enriching conversations.

We selected these winning concepts based on your evaluations and input from the Oxfam and Nokia teams. In the coming weeks OpenIDEO will be working with Oxfam and Nokia to take some of these concepts forward into realisation, also combining with other concepts in our shortlist. Please stay tuned!

Read about the experience from Ian Sullivan, who is one of our Oxfam team members and also submitted a winning concept.
