  • WE ARE ACCELERATING ESTONIA TO NEW HEIGHTS! 

    Starting this evening, Accelerate Estonia and Garage48 will host an online hackathon so that Estonia can emerge from the crisis stronger than ever. Now is the prime time to design, test and launch moonshot ideas that will either help tackle the crisis or position Estonia well for the aftermath.


    Accelerate Estonia will sponsor up to 5 ideas with 5K for execution during the state of emergency and the full support of the minister for ICT and Foreign Trade, Mr. Kaimar Karu. 


    We are looking for ideas that:

    • are prototypable in 48 hours and help solve the crisis;
    • give Estonia the edge in the post-crisis words.


    Do not stop at anything. Think of moonshots. Think of stuff that needs different regulations. Think for a few hours and join the hackathon.

    KIIRENDAME EESTI UUTE KÕRGUSTENI! 
    Juba täna õhtul algab Accelerate Estonia ja Garage48 online häkaton! Oled oodatud liituma, et koos välja töötada, disainida ja testida lahendusi, mis aitavad Eestil kriisist tugevalt väljuda. 

    Accelerate Estonia sponsoreerib hackathoni kuni 5 tugevamat ideed 5000 euroga elluviimiseks eriolukorra ajal. Välismajandus- ja infotehnoloogiaminister Kaimar Karu abistab elluviimisega igal võimalikul moel.

    Me otsime ideid, mis: 
    • on 48 tunni jooksul testitavad ja aitavad kriisiga toime tulla;
    • annavad Eestile konkurentsieelise kriisi-järgseks ajaks.

    Ära hoia end tagasi. Mõtle võimatule. Mõtle asjadele, mis nõuavad muutusi regulatsioonis. Mõtle mõni tund ja liitu hackathoniga!
