Hack for Earth is about three good things - Sustainability, Diversity and Impact. If you want a hands-on possibility to create real change for our future, you should join the global online hackathon Hack for Earth!
Sustainability
The UN 17 global goals is at the heart at everything we do. Together with all parts of society - private and public sector, academia and citizens of all ages- we find the solutions we need for the society of tomorrow.
Diversity
We know that the best solutions for society comes from bringing all kinds of competences, backgrounds, ages and experiences together, breaking down silos and barriers and building new bridges in the process.
Impact
A great idea is nothing if it isn’t made a reality. By supporting the winning solutions from Hack for Earth in the Acceleration Program Build for Earth, our goal is to create real tools for citizens to use in their everyday life.
"We are very excited to be part of this hackathon. We believe the future is decentralized and we want to facilitate the transition to decentralized systems and solutions that give power back to the people. We saw the potential of crowdsourcing global challenges to the world and we see there can be a great collaboration and promising outcomes with this hackathon", says Henrik Hjelte, Co-Founder and CEO of ChromaWay.
