Middlesex University Dubai is calling upon data enthusiasts to create innovative data insights for sustainability and food safety by taking part in a virtual hackathon.

The Hackathon is expected to see participants compete in extracting solutions from data; transforming the information into predictive models that will be able to create lasting solutions for the food safety industry.

The competition is being held in collaboration with RUBICS Smart Solutions, CIHx, and Beinex. Using a dataset shared by RUBICS Smart Solutions on food safety which includes various aspects such as food temperature, fridge status, alert levels, location, and several other attributes; participants will be asked to derive insights that could link to sustainability and add business value.

The objective is open-ended; the only requirement is to use Analytics, Machine Learning, or Visualisations to come up with sustainable solutions. The winner will receive cash prize of Dh1,500 and the runner-up will be awarded Dh1,000. All participants will receive a digital certificate of participation by RUBICS and Insights Lab. The shortlisted participants will also stand a chance of winning a virtual internship with RUBICS to work on sustainability and food safety projects.

Speaking on the importance of data, Dr Krishnadas Nanath, Associate Professor and founder of the Middlesex University Dubai Insights Lab, said that from reducing downtime to minimising waste, extracting solutions from data can unlock almost limitless opportunities while creating a more sustainable world.

Registrations for the Hackathon will close on June 4, with shortlists to be announced later that month.
