The scheme is open to project teams with 70% of the team being from the North East of England. The app idea also must be revenue generating and ready for release by summer 2010. Grants of between £1K and £10K will be offered.

We will do whatever it takes to ensure that North East companies have every opportunity to get their products developed, made, distributed and bought on whatever new platforms come along. Whatever we can do to help our companies get to the front of the queue, we will do.”
