Hack The Crisis NL

COVID-19 has turned our world upside down. Humanity is facing significant health and economic challenges, and we need to find ways to tackle them. That’s why – inspired by the #hackthecrisis global movement – TNW and Innofest Nederland initiated a volunteer-led online innovation marathon in the Netherlands co-organized with StartupAmsterdam, Startupbootcamp Amsterdam, Brain Fuel, Women in AI, GoodUp, HOAX Amsterdam, Smart Camels event design, coronacommunitycare.nl, and EY. The coronavirus hackathon took place on April 3-5, and focused on finding solutions in the fields of patient care, protection for medical and sanitary staff at the hospitals, virus containment, and digital solutions for people and businesses during social distancing, among others.
