The new COVID-19 virus is testing our country, our society and us as citizens. Everything that was normal about our daily lives has been put on hold. Currently life, health, and jobs are threatened.
In this critical moment, our task is to work together to solve one of the biggest crises of our lifetime. That’s why we teamed up with DIGG, Hack for Sweden, and The Swedish Government to put up a 48hr remote hackathon to address this crisis.
The mission is to design, test and execute ideas for the future of Sweden and the world. We want to gather creative ideas and develop concepts in an attempt to create solutions helping us to make further progress in creating the new normal.
This hackathon is an opportunity for all parts of society to contribute – public sector, private sector, academia, non-profit organizations and citizens, who want to join in the fight. Three challenges will be addressed:
Save lives
Save communities
Save businesses
We are looking for and will award concepts and digital solutions in each of these three challenges’ categories.
To participate, you can register either as an individual or as a team, and submit your concept or digital solution in one of the challenges. So get your friends, colleagues and family to register and contribute with your creativity!
The hackathon runs from Friday, April 3rd 2020 at 15:00 until Sunday, 5th April 2020 at 19.00. A more detailed schedule can be found on www.hackthecrisis.se
We have overcome many pandemics before. We will overcome this one as well. Join us in doing so!
