About the HiiL’s Innovating Justice Challenge
Established in 2005, The Hague Institute for Innovation of Law(HiiL) is a social initiative committed to delivering justice. It’s a justice-centered enterprise focused on promoting accessible, sustainable, and effective justice for all.
Located in The Hague, City of Peace and Justice, HiiL is a non-profit social enterprise focused solely on justice and SDGs.
An annual 4-month program, the HiiL’s Innovating Justice Challenge is a unique opportunity set up to accelerate startups that show strong impact range, have a strong team, and can level up to impact thousands and millions of people.
The challenge caters to justice startups with activities and services committed to the prevention and resolution of justice needs such as helping people get access to legal services, working on removing barriers for people to access financial services, or getting a registered identity, preventing (digital) fraud, tracking crime, and the like.
The program has regional posts in East Africa, West Africa, Southern Africa, MENA, and Ukraine.
Over 110 justice startups globally have been supported by the program since 2011.
Review and selection of candidates for the accelerator program in the Innovation Justice Challenge are based on the demand for innovative entrepreneurs that focus on:
preventing or resolving pressing justice problems
being people and user-centered, rather than system-centered.
Selected applicants will get a chance to appear at the program physically at the Innovating Justice Forum in 2021.
