Presidential Hackathon Sustainability 2.0 Resilient Islands

The outbreak of the pandemic last year resulted in interruptions of transport flow of people and goods and each country became aware of “resilience.” To resist systematical risks in the economy, society, and environment is more important than “efficiency,” which is what we used to pursue. Like other countries around the world, Taiwan also faces challenges of an aging population, extreme climate change, and the rapid emergence of AI and 5G technologies.

Hence, this year (2021), under the theme of “Sustainability 2.0 Resilient Islands,” you are invited to utilize Taiwan’s digital competitiveness from the perspective of national sustainable development through the private and public partnership to participate in this hackathon challenges in issues including “Human Capital,” “Circular Economy,” “Energy Transformation and Decarbonization,” “Sustainable Food, Agriculture, and Ecological Conservation,” “Smart Resilient Cities and Counties,” “Digital Transformation,” to discover solutions and to work hand in hand to build Taiwan into a resilient islands.
