The first IranCubator project led to the creation of multiple mobile applications aimed at developing Iranian civil society. These included project like Hamdam, a one-stop shop for information related to the reproductive and legal rights of women, Haami, which helps Iranians struggling with addiction to dial back temptation and buffer themselves from relapses, and Michka, which helps teach children how to identify and report sexual abuse. Together, the apps generated in round one were downloaded over 700,000 times, and were used for over 250,000 hours. The apps were featured in renowned media outlets including Forbes, WIRED, Fast Company, and Voice of America.

IranCubator 2.0 will connect skilled app developers and Iranian civil society leaders to create an all-new suite of apps designed to empower Iranians and enhance civic engagement. Selected teams will receive financial and institutional support to create their apps.

All IranCubator 2.0 apps will be developed and released by the end of 2021.
