For 2022, we plan to host the second edition of Hackathon for Good in India as a week-long event while keeping the tone of the event the same with the right blend of technology, innovation, entrepreneurship, and policy-making. The event will include keynote speakers and panel discussions on Applying Data Science and AI for the SDGs during the opening and closing ceremony. Technical, Domain-specific, and Business Development Mentoring will be provided for the teams who participate in the hackathon.

For the fifth year in a row, teams from all over the world gathered at the Hackathon for Good to work on projects related to sustainability, privacy, open government and corruption. This year the winning team North Sea sharks impressed our jury with their policy-making tool that gathers and presents information from administrative, specialised sources, social channels, and the public internet to help policy creators make informed decisions.

But how did the team come up with their prizewinning solution? ‘’

We had a great line-up of mentors to choose from, who helped us to really understand the challenge through their expertise and enabled us to test our assumptions in such a short amount of time.’’

We would also like to thank Amir Niknam of the Dutch Police. His infectious enthusiasm motivated us during the duration of the Hackathon.’’
