Oxford Foundry backs four new COVID-19 recovery innovations
The Oxford Foundry today announces the four new innovative solutions it will support on the OXFO COVID-19 Rapid Solutions Builder. The four critical solutions were chosen by a team of international judges from more than 100 entries after a rigorous selection process - based on their ability to have a real, tangible societal impact, their viability and ability to implement and their potential for rapid growth.
