For the 2017 contest, CTA will team up with the Extreme Tech Challenge : \u00a0both contests will focus on products aiming to help people aged 60+ or disabled people<\/strong>. Competing start-ups\u00a0will be entered for both the Extreme Tech Challenge 2017 and the CTA’s Foundation contest ; applicants must\u00a0register before\u00a0September 30, 2016. The proceedings are fairly straightforward : applicants must present one project in a short video.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Partnership with the Extreme Tech Challenge means winners\u00a0will also have the opportunity to pitch judge Richard Brandon on Necker Island.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CTA Foundation Video Contest helped us, a very young and underfunded startup, get on stage at CES and led us into international headlines,\u201d said Alberto Rizzoli<\/strong>of Aipoly<\/strong>, who featured among the 2016 winners. \u201cWe had a documentary filmed about us during the experience and our technology is now helping tens of thousands of people around the world. CES marked our official launch, and as a result of our success there and what came after it, we were greeted by the President of Italy last week while in Rome.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
