Intercultural Roots launches EcoGPX™ app in Ilkley, blending arts, environment, and community for global impact, R&D, philanthropic and investment potential.
We've done something that I think is next to unique. In my research, I've not seen anything quite like what this app aims to do. Experts on app development are getting really excited about EcoGPX™.”
ILKLEY, WEST YORKSHIRE, UNITED KINGDOM, January 31, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Today, Intercultural Roots proudly announces the launch of the prototype Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for EcoGPX™, a revolutionary smart app blending the creative arts, environmental science, mental health, and community engagement. This initial version, launched at a significant event at Ilkley Manor House, and attended by over 22 local arts, environment, health and heritage contributors as well as international collaborators, is a proof of concept, inviting the wider community to test and provide feedback.— Dr John Zibell, Creative Director EcoGPX™
EcoGPX™: More Than an App, A Community Testbed
The EcoGPX™ MVP, curated and built in just over 6 months, is a tangible demonstration of how technology can enhance our relationship with the environment, health and local heritage. It's a call to action, bringing together people's experiences and insights to shape the future of the app helping raise awareness and address local challenges and issues concerning communities. From the heartwarming words of a local artist at the launch, "EcoGPX™ is not just an app, it's a new way of seeing our world," to an Ilkley community leader who said, "This is what our community needed to come together," the enthusiasm is palpable.
Fostering Growth and Investment
Building on the success of receiving the Innovate UK Creative Catalyst 2023 Award of £50,000, Intercultural Roots is actively pursuing additional research and development funding from Innovate UK and UKRI, who recognise the high growth potential of their latest initiative and a turnover that increased 173% in the last year. Furthermore, the nonprofit, that made a 180 degree pivot to incorporate technology during the pandemic, is exploring the establishment of an ethical for-profit subsidiary, opening doors for worldwide venture capital investment. This innovative approach offers a unique opportunity for investors to be part of a project and organisation with both social impact and financial potential, supporting this growing international community of more than 500 ecologically minded pioneers who are involved. Interested philantropists or ethical investors are encouraged to make contact.
Join the EcoGPX™ Journey
We invite everyone to explore, provide feedback, and be part of this prototype's evolution. EcoGPX™ is poised to become a catalyst for change, not just in Ilkley or the UK, but globally. To learn more about EcoGPX™, visit Intercultural Roots' EcoGPX™ Project Page.
