We hack. We enable. We empower.
Driving the creation and development of open source solutions to pressing societal & humanitarian challenges is what we do.
HACKING, Hackathons & our way of handling challenges
To hack (something) is to manage to deal successfully with something and a hackathon is where we come together in the form of a 48hrs competitive event in which people work in teams on software or hardware projects with 2 goals:
collaboratively addressing a pressing challenge related to the UN SDGs.
creating a functioning digital product or solution by the end of the event.
Apart from our own hackathons, we are also available for hire. Find out more here.
Enabling crucial dialogues
We enable multi-party conversations with the intention of bringing together like-minded
societal actors in pursuing the UN’s Agenda 2030 and solving wicked problems
collaboratively. These exchanges start with us looking for organizations on the same mission as us and identifying needs to put forward to our hacking crowd. Find out more about the outcomes, our case contributors and about case challenges submission here.
Empowering leading possibilities
By harnessing our partner & sponsor community’s resources to support further solution development, we empower eager teams in making a difference during and after our hackathon events. Find out how you can get involved in supporting these efforts here.
What We've Achieved
We have consistently received heartwarming feedback from our participants and partners thus showing us that our mission to create a platform for tech solutions to societal & humanitarian challenges is not only valuable but also needed.
Since 2015 we have organised 11 hackathons, each with over 100 registered participants from all over Sweden and the Nordics.
We have received and helped address more than 60 humanitarian and social impact oriented challenges, with at least one concept solution presented for each challenge.
