There's an ITU young entrepreneurs competition that will help fund some of
your ideas including those that inspire the creation of local digital
content (like Wikipedia!). See the info below. I can answer some basic
questions about the competition but can't provide specific advice to an
applicant since I'm on the selection committee. Good luck!
