In collaboration with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management and the Netherlands Space Office, we’re thrilled to announce the first Geo-Data Fusion Hackathon 2024. Participants will have the opportunity to work on challenges formulated by the Ministry, with the goal of generating ideas and prototypes that could lead to feasible solutions. This unique event provides the winning team with a large investment for a pilot project for the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, using space and earth observation data.
As a government, we want to show that we use satellite data for societal purposes and see more potential and future in this. One way we do this is by stimulating the development of solutions to social issues of the Ministry of I&W, using space and earth observation data and complementing it with available datasets. This hackathon acts as a means to develop concepts and prototypes that can lead to greater awareness internally and externally of the potential of satellite data, develop feasible projects and create possible business activity.
The hackathon will take place on 13 & 14 June in Utrecht, with the finale on 17 June in The Hague.You can read more about this programme on the eventpage.
