The third phase of Digital Jersey's 'Impact Jersey' scheme is now open to local companies and individuals looking to develop tech-driven solutions to some of the island's biggest challenges.
The CXTech programme – which is funded by the Government and delivered by Digital Jersey – was formally launched earlier this month, and seeks to "shift the dial" across Jersey's retail and visitor economy using tech solutions.
It is the third initiative to be rolled out by Impact Jersey, a scheme founded in 2023 to accelerate and strengthen how Jersey uses technology to support the island's future economy.

CXTech is now accepting applications from local and global innovators to develop and deploy tech-driven solutions to enhance customer experiences, productivity, and operational efficiency across Jersey’s retail, tourism, hospitality and logistics sectors.
Up to £500,000 in grant funding will be awarded for the winning proposals based on a 50/50 match model. Those solutions will then be expected to be delivered within 12 months.
Around 100 tech innovators and representatives attended a launch event at the Digital Jersey Hub last week.
Tony Moretta, CEO of Digital Jersey, said he is looking forward to seeing "interesting ideas" come in.
He explained: “With the CXTech programme now open for applications, we’re looking forward to seeing some interesting ideas come in over the coming weeks that can really shift the dial in improving customer experience and boosting business productivity across the island’s visitor, retail and wider economy.
"We’ve listened carefully to feedback on previous programmes and we’re continuing to work hard on making sure this programme is accessible and geared up to really benefit Jersey through the application of cutting-edge technology.”
The second Impact Jersey programme, CareTech, was launched in May this year and sought tech solutions for Jersey's aging population.

The deadline for applications is Wednesday 15 January 2025.
