What is the SDG Open Hack?

The SDG Open Hack is an atypical 24-hour hackathon, in partnership with United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), Open Geneva, University of Geneva, tertiary education institutions, universities and corporate partners in Singapore!

The SDG Open Hack aims to cultivate sustainable innovation through solving challenges on pertinent sustainability topics and promoting collaboration across diverse disciplines and fields.

Students choose challenge topics according to their interests, form an interdisciplinary innovation team online, and work hard to develop innovative solutions.

Selected teams will have the opportunity to present to our panel of judges at the Grand Finale and Awards Ceremony.
