The BMZ #SmartDevelopmentHack

The corona shock has placed a heavy burden on developing countries causing enormous social and economic consequences.
With #SmartDevelopmentHack the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is calling for innovative digital solutions to tackle the challenges caused by the coronavirus outbreak in low- and middle-income countries. Under the patronage of the BMZ together with “Team Europe” partners from the EU Commission, other EU member states, tech-companies and civil society, we are launching the global hackathon #SmartDevelopmentHack as part of the upcoming German Council Presidency. The “Call for Solutions” is open now!

We are looking for innovative digital solutions in Africa, Asia and Latin America in all areas of development cooperation. We call for innovators to upload their digital solutions! You can also make a partnership suggestion and become an implementation partner.

Solution providers will then be matched with implementation partners for the two-day hackathon (May 14th – 15th).

Explore our challenges and submit your innovative digital solution by April 27th (midnight).
