EUvsVirus Hackathon to develop innovative solutions and overcome coronavirus-related challenges
Date: 17/04/20
To complement hackathons taking place at global and member state level, the European Commission – in close collaboration with EU member states as well as Norway, Israel, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine and the United Kingdom – will host a pan-European hackathon to connect civil society, innovators, partners and buyers across Europe to develop innovative solutions to coronavirus.
The #EUvsVirus Hackathon will take place on 24, 25 and 26 April and address approximately 20 imminent coronavirus challenges (e.g. fast production of equipment, scaling up production capabilities, knowledge and solutions transfer from one country to another), to be quickly developed and deployed across the EU Single Market.
The winning solutions will be invited to join a European Innovation Council Platform that will facilitate connections with end users (e.g. hospitals) and provide access to investors, foundations and other funding opportunities from across the European Commission.
