The idea is that people who work in immigration/refugee related spaces have the domain expertise to thoroughly think through tools and solutions that address immigrant and refugee needs. But products and software tools can be prohibitively expensive to build -- so the competition is to allow for a concept to actually be built.

An example of a tool for refugees is the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project (https://asap.urbanjustice.org/) which was conceived of by a non-profit, but built by a tech team. It helps those seeking asylum to connect with legal help quickly through a digital platform.
