(3) The design, validation and feasibility scoping of an innovative and sustainable solution to a serious social, urban or environmental challenge, to be presented by the participant to one or more relevant external agencies of government
(4) A substantial piece of research on policies, programs and infrastructure to enable greater participation in, and better quality outcomes from entrepreneurship and innovation activities across the economy generally
