Скачать или смотреть WE VS. VIRUS - Germany’s collective HACK against COVID-19 | GERMANTECH: WORLDCHANGERS IN TECH

As the COVID-19 virus began taking a grip on Europe, Germany’s federal government decided to enact a hackathon that would define oncoming challenges, enable a platform for bright minds to come together and create a collective bottom-up approach in fighting the virus before it could take anchor.
This came together in the form of the We vs. Virus Hackathon. One weekend that broke the world record in digital hackathons: bringing together 42968 participants, 1924 Innovators, and 2922 mentors. We get to speak to one of the organizers from this marvelous initiative, Anna Hupperth from Tech4Germany. She will tell us how they managed to successfully build and set up the hack, what happened after and which initiatives are making real-life impact and waves in the fight against COVID-19.
Be part of this inspiring talk on how one nation and its collaborators discovered digital opportunities to win against the virus.

ABOUT WORLDCHANGERS IN TECH
In September 2015, a UN Summit launched the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with a vision to radically improve our lives, end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. Not only the social and environmental, but also the economic benefits are overwhelming in their estimates. Yet, with the current pace of progress, it is completely impossible to meet the targets by 2030. At GERMANTECH, we strongly believe that entrepreneurship is the most powerful way to innovate and technology is a critical enabler in developing solutions to the most urgent problems our society faces.

Every month, we organize WORLDCHANGERS IN TECH Meetups and WORLDCHANGERS IN TECH Open Lectures with a mission to educate society on positive aspects of technology and entrepreneurship and to enable and facilitate a discussion among diverse stakeholders on tech solutions that contribute to a more sustainable future. We mark each event by one of the UN SDGs to show our commitment to the 2030 Agenda.
