Citi have announced its Tech for Integrity Challenge, dubbed T4I for short. The T4I Challenge is an open competition seeking companies to submit technology ideas relating to the promotion of integrity, accountability, and transparency.

The T4I competition looks for innovation in areas such as government transactions and procurement, culture, ethics and citizen engagement, cutting red tape, and information security and identity.

Selected participants will receive mentoring and infrastructure support to enhance their submissions. Finalists will showcase their solutions at a demo day in cities including Buenos Aires, Dublin, Hyderabad, Mexico City and Singapore, in May and June.

Award recipients will have the opportunity to work with any business, organization, or government interested in exploring innovative integrity tools.

The initiative is led by Citi, in collaboration with Clifford Chance, Facebook, IBM, Let’s Talk Payments, Mastercard, Microsoft, PwC, and others.

“By supporting open innovation and providing innovators with the tools they need to develop ideas, we hope to help solve some of the biggest challenges that the public sector faces,” says Julie Monaco, global head of public sector group in Citi’s corporate investment banking division.
