But ideas4all never stops, and you can now take part in our new challenge, until February 28th: the best ideas for Saint Valentine’s day. Click here to find out more.

We can now announce the winner of the first edition of the Big Bang Challenge. The winner’s name is Heriberto Madrigal, of  American nationality, whose idea, “A single database for all peer-reviewed research” has etched out competition from the other candidates and managed to win first spot in our challenge.

“The selection was not easy. The International Jury has deliberated until the last moment and the competition for first place has continued until the very end. It was very hard for us to discard other excellent ideas that also deserved the award, but we are sure we are giving our support to a project that, according to the experts in our jury, is the best.”

Now all that is left is for the winner,  to sign a cooperation agreement with ideas4all, specifying how the money will be delivered, 25,000€ to put the idea into practice, and begin covering the expenses of starting up the project.

We at ideas4all would like to congratulate Heriberto Madrigal and offer all our encouragement in this entrepreneuring phase he or she is embarking upon.

And how about you, do you have a business idea? You do? Well, don’t worry, because there will surely be more editions of the BBChallenge.

ideas4all is getting a new year started with the new Challenge of the Month, in which we ask you to share your ideas for 2010. We all have ideas we would like to see become reality, which are yours?

Now is the time to think of ideas that will make this year better than the last. How could we change something you think is going wrong? Can you think of any new products? A service you think was missing last year? Come on and share your ideas!

You can share all your ideas from January 7th to 31st. And you can win three fantastic prizes: A 1st prize of 400$ and second and third prizes of 200$.

To find out more, here are the terms and conditions of the competition.

It is an obvious fact that personal and professional relations are currently living a golden age. And it is unquestionable that the Internet has something to do with this.
Thanks to Social Media, such as Facebook, witter, Linkedin…and various other networks, we are only a click away from meeting great, and not so great, people (let’s not kid ourselves, we can find all types in the Internet…).
These digital encounters often help us give life a conspirational wink 
People who, like ourselves, use words, twitts, posts, and belong to different communities and groups, that manage to provoke an admiring exclamation in us (!), as well as help us see reality as it is, as it should be and, occasionally, as it shall be.
Today’s journalist is @cimino and the interviewee in this Twitter interview is @anamaríallopis

Concepts such as Social Networks, Transparency, Democratization of ideas, Innovation, Web 2.0, Authenticity, Community and Crowdsourcing are a reality, and when spoken, or rather twitted, by Ana María Llopis, they make me think of her project, Ideas4ll, a site she puts her heart and soul into. If we look for a word to describe this concept, we can only think of Passion, and if we dig deeper into her project, the bigbangchallenge, we come up with the concept of Innovation.

Lastly, with respect to the final question of the interview, I agree completely that “one has to measure oneself against him or herself”, this is for me the road to success. That “chance helps the prepared mind”, as the interviewee says, seems to me very true, and I would add that learning to overcome obstacles -be these represented by people or situations- make us stronger and drive our lives forward.

I invite you to read the interview and come up with your own conclusions.

It seems that there are more and more opportunities for those with an entrepreneurial spirit and a good idea, to finally make it become reality. And you may very well be one of them. In ideas4all you can do so by participating in the Big Bang Challenge. Come on and take part!

But here we would like to tell you about Yuzz, Fundación Banesto’s new project, which offers support for ideas that are technology-based. But what is most interesting about this competition is that it is exclusively dedicated to young people “between 18 and 25 years of age, living in Madrid and Barcelona”.

Those who send a technology-based idea that is selected, will be able to “count on the necessary material and support, as well as an adequate space and equipment during one school year, for the development of their ideas into a business project.”

You can find all the necessary information here. You still have until December 5th to sign up.

Maria Maza from ideas4all
