CLIMATHON 2021

MANNHEIM

What is climathon about?

We want to not just talk about sustainability but try to see what technology can do to fight climate change. That is why Hackerstolz and the City of Mannheim are hosting the Climathon. The Climathon is an over regional initiative by the Climate-KIC from EIT that take place in hundreds of cities all over the world. Become part of it! For 40 hours you have the opportunity to develop prototypes for digital solutions together in a team. We provide you with public and non-public environmental data as well as data from the economy, with which you can develop innovative green solutions.

Throughout the entire hackathon, you will be supported by a team of experts who will help you develop your ideas.

Challenges

Here you find a list of all challenges. Why is this important? At the Climathon you have to decide as a team for ONE CHALLENGE on which you want to work and at the end submit your solution. Only in a few exceptions where it makes sense, a solution for two challenges can be offered.

Sponsors

Not enough, as you wish, here some more arguments for you: You are mentioned at the event and on social media. Establish your company as a relevant and sustainable tech player in the dynamic coding community. And beside that you can provide your own challenge and prize depending on the sponsoring package of your choice. Benefit from the inventiveness of the teams working on your challenge.

It is difficult to establish a clear and quantifiable criterion as to which sustainability criteria a sponsor must meet. Therefore, we will review different sources to get an idea of how sustainable a sponsor is. These criteria include: The last sustainability report, ISO-50001 certification, published climate indicators such as the X-Degree-Compatibility (XDC), rating in the CDP Climate Scoring etc., are all relevant criteria. If we have the impression that a sponsor does not meet our sustainability expectations, we can reject the sponsor.
