Works everywhere: The app works reliably both indoors and outdoors—and even without an Internet connection. No extra hardware: All you need is your smartphone. The Nearfaces app uses the existing features of your device and is compatible with both iPhone and Android models.

The nomination is made exclusively by an international expert committee and serves as an independent validation of socially relevant innovation.
