Ambitious.Africa partners with Hack for Earth ahead of Expo 2020 Dubai

We have partnered with Hack for Earth Foundation, an organization set on finding real solutions to the 17 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), through the Hack for Earth hackathon. It is a global online hackathon organized in collaboration with the UN and the Swedish Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, inviting more than 10.000 participants from all over the world to join in the quest for a better world.

"This collaboration with Ambitious.Africa will create unique possibilities for us to build the international platform for citizen-driven innovation that the world needs to tackle the 17 SDGs. We welcome the collaboration with Ambitious.Africa, and look forward to working together to create value for the competing teams joining the Hack for Earth hackathon. We see that we share similar values when it comes to creating real possibilities for young people to take an active part in global change ", says Ann Molin, Founder and Secretary General of the Hack for Earth Foundation.

Who are we?

Hack for Earth is about three good things - Sustainability, Diversity, and Impact. If you want a hands-on possibility to create real change for our future, you should join the global online hackathon Hack for Earth!

Sustainability:
The UN 17 global goals are at the heart of everything we do. Together with all parts of society - private and public sector,

academia and citizens of all ages- we find the solutions we need for the society of tomorrow.

Diversity:
We know that the best solutions for society come from bringing all kinds of competencies, backgrounds, ages and experiences together, breaking down silos and barriers, and building new bridges in the process.

Impact:
A great idea is nothing if it isn’t made a reality. By supporting the winning solutions from Hack for Earth in the Acceleration Program Build for Earth, our goal is to create real tools for citizens to use in their everyday life.
