3 Billion People in Lockdown. Let’s Hack The Future So We Never Go Through This Again

During these challenging times a team originating from Estonia is hosting a global online hackathon on  April 9-12, to build solutions for the socio-economic corona crisis and develop new ideas to increase resilience in the post-crisis world.

The Global Hack is an online hackathon designed to share and rapidly develop ideas for urgently needed solutions in the face of the current crisis, as well as to build resilience post-pandemic.

 

The Global Hack has already drawn attention across the globe – covered by Forbes, Silicon Republic, GovInsider among others – and brought on board a fleet of world-class mentors, such as Silicon Valley’s tech superstar Steve Jurvetson, former President of Estonia Toomas Hendrik Ilves and Chris Anderson – Head of TED.

„This is a unique time when the whole world is fighting the same problem together. Online, with no borders, tech activists are building solutions in an epic rapid prototyping hackathon.

 

It will be the biggest hackathon held, uniting humanity with purpose online at a time we are being separated physically,“ says Toomas Hendrik Ilves, President of Estonia from 2006 to 2016.

„The Global Hack“ online hackathon is expected to attract over 1 million participants from across the world, uniting both public and private sectors.
