The second Garage48 hackathon in Moldova has ended. It was a weekend full of hardcore developing, sleepless nights, laughter and tears, and it was unforgettable! There were 14 ideas pitched on Friday evening from which 10 ideas went into deveopment. The ideas hacked “touchless”payments, trainings for pharmacists, tackling the problem of cluttered internet tabs and many other innovative ideas. The hackathon was organised with the funding of Estonian Development Cooperation and our local partners Civitta Moldova and Dreamups Innovation Campus. After an intense 48 hours of developing their prototypes and preparing for the finals the teams had 3 minutes to pitch their products.
After the pitches the jury had to decide amongst the successful teams. Here are the winners of Garage48 Chisinau 2017:
