About

OneGov AI Hackathon Series β€” Edition #2

Welcome to Edition #2 of the OneGov AI Hackathon Series, the national hackathon where public-sector challenges meet the creativity of developers, designers, researchers and innovators.

Following the success of our first edition, we're bringing together a diverse community once again to prototype solutions that strengthen the digital government. Over two days, multidisciplinary teams collaborate on real challenges provided by public organisations and GovTech partners.

What to expect

  • A fast-paced, hands-on hackathon focused on real governmental and societal challenges
  • Access to datasets, APIs, tools and domain experts
  • Challenge briefs designed around public-sector impact
  • Mentorship and guidance throughout both days
  • An open, collaborative atmosphere where technical and non-technical participants contribute equally

Who can join

Anyone with curiosity and motivation, whether you're a developer, designer, policy professional, student, researcher or domain specialist.

No team yet? No problem. You can join or form a team directly in Junction.
