145 projects have been selected finalists, from the excellent collection of ICT projects that have competed for the Stockholm Challenge 2008 six category awards. They have all been invited to come to Stockholm to participate in all parts of the event, show their work and meet with peers and many others who devote their time, skills and interest to ICT for development.

The Event Site also contains a questionnaire, which we ask all finalists to fill out.  This will help the Stockholm Challenge staff to allocate the right resources for everyone´s special needs such as assistance with getting visas, food preferences and other specific request that any visitor might have.

There is also the Stockholm Challenge Forum, a special part of the Event Site, which we want to strongly promote. This is where the finalists are invited to discuss, following certain suggested topics, what they would like to focus on in the workshops that are an important part of Challenge Week in May.

The Event Site also offers information about where to stay in Stockholm, hotels and hostels. There is also information about how to go around the place, underground, commuting trains, buses and taxis, plus prices for the different means of transportation.

Welcome to Challenge Week 2008 and the Event Site!
