The Presidential Hackathon International Track debuted in 2019, marking the fifth year of the event. People from all backgrounds, regardless of their age or nationality, are welcome to use open data, technology, and creative thinking to suggest solutions to societal problems that satisfy nations’ social and developmental needs worldwide. Additionally, we hope to foster opportunities for cross-border, interdisciplinary, and public-private collaborations so that data owners, data scientists, and specialists from various fields can interact. We invite participants from all over the world to submit innovative ideas for data applications that will improve people’s lives and promote new methods of governance.
