Denmark is one of the world’s most digitized countries, acknowledged for its cooperation between academia, NGOs and the public and private sectors. We are inviting tech entrepreneurs, social workers, teachers, NGOs, public sector employees, companies, students, retirees – basically everyone in Denmark and abroad who want to help us identify and solve challenges that are appearing during the COVID-19 crisis.​

The idea was to search for ideas with a special focus on containment of coronavirus with a special focus on developing non-medial solutions to deal with its aftermath. The hack was divided into 3 tracks:`Saving Lives, Helping Communities and Helping businesses.

COVID-19 has developed into a global crisis in recent weeks. We are inviting you to join us in this online hackathon to help Denmark and the world emerge stronger than ever. Now is the time to design, test, and launch moonshot ideas to help tackle the crisis.Experts in all fields from Denmark and around the world are invited to join in solving challenges regarding COVID-19.

A global challenge requires global solutions and therefore needs collaboration between a wide range of different actors. We will unite participants with mentors, subject matter experts, and data sources to help ideas get off the ground.

The goal of this 48h nonprofit online hackathon is to develop open-source prototypes, which will contribute to solving the most pressing challenges in the current COVID-19 crisis.

They want to build on existing solutions and technologies to prevent duplications, and we want to enable a sustainable impact after the hackathon to take projects to the next level and implement them for our daily life and work.

This hackathon is inspired by Estonia and the community of Garage48 “HACK THE CRISIS”, organised by volunteers from the Estonian government, corporates & startup community.
