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-organised with us StartupAmsterdam, Startupbootcamp, Brain Fuel, Women in AI, GoodUp, Hoax, Smart Camels event design, and EY.

This hackathon will focus 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.

The application form is still open for participants, mentors and partners. So bring in your skillset, open up your network, and let's #HacktheCrisis together!
