UPDATE: ODYSSEY HACKATHON 2020 HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED TO NOVEMBER 13-15 AND WILL TAKE PLACE ONLINE
Odyssey connects governments, corporates and non-profits with innovative entrepreneurs from around the world to let them jointly tackle 21st-century challenges. Together, we create an interconnected, multi-stakeholder ecosystem to build a future.
Each season is a 10-month journey starting from problem identification to building the solutions and implementing pilots.
Throughout this journey we bring together stakeholders with whom we articulate the challenges, exchange knowledge and prepare for the 48-hour hackathon, where selected teams develop prototypes, supported by all program partners and 200+ specialised experts, such as legal advisors and financial regulators.
Since 2016, more than 230 prototypes have emerged from the program addressing the challenges of over 40 partners. The goal of each partner is to elevate the best teams and solutions to multi-stakeholder pilots after the Hackathon.
Odyssey is now in season 4, with the 2020 edition of the hackathon coming up on 19-21 June in Groningen, the Netherlands.
