Hack the Crisis will help the world fight Corona

Will bring together all good forces 

The goal is to in a very short time gather creative ideas and develop concepts helping us to tackle the Corona crisis and that can be implemented quickly in our society. Hack the Crisis will gather all parts of our society that wants to be a part of the solution; the public sector, private sector, academia, non-profit organizations and citizens are all welcome to contribute. The online hackathon will have three focus areas; to save lives, save communities and save businesses.

The movement started in Estonia and several countries around the world are following in their footsteps. The Swedish engagement in Hack the Crisis is an initiative from The Swedish Government organized by DIGG, Hack for Sweden and Openhack, together with a strong lineup of actors who are meeting up to support the initiative.

AI Innovation of Sweden has accepted the challenge

AI Innovation of Sweden is one of the partners that has chosen to get involved;
“It is a fantastic initiative that can really make a difference and can quickly respond to a challenge and a rapidly growing need in society", says Mikael Ljungblom, Head of Communications and Public Affairs at AI Innovation of Sweden.
