Recent turbulent years have placed many companies and industries in a situation to rethink their operating and social models. Data 4 Healthy Recovery hackathon, with an emphasis on smart health solutions is a way to help the European companies to recover from the crisis and at the same time also create new business opportunities for the future.
To achieve this, we have invited various European companies, organisations, and top-level mentors active in the smart health sector, to find innovative solutions and tools helping European companies to reshape their business models, products, and processes.
“This hackathon is a practical way of trying to boost the competitiveness of small and bigger businesses in Europe and modernise the value chains that will serve our societies.” – said Maive Rute, the Deputy Director-General of the Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs of the European Commission.
