The initiative is currently active in 28 countries around the globe and focuses on helping young women — between the ages of 10 and 18 — to work together. The teams are then encouraged to design and develop their mobile app and pitch in front of a group of judges.
So far, Technovation has seen over 3 000 women build their own mobile applications.
To apply, you and your team should register here, after which you’ll submit your app, a pitch, a demo and a business plan, among other things. You can also sign up as a mentor or a couch.

The 2015 Registration Deadline is 15 February, so get building!
