List of hackathons in Estonia in 2018

City problems should and can be solved in an open format engaging authorities, citizens, scientists and entrepreneurs at the same time in the same room! Come and listen innovative ideas how to improve Tallinn biowaste separate collection in kitchens, catering establishments, food processing industries and stores. The most critical issue in the present waste management system in Tallinn is the biodegradable fraction in municipal waste, that should be collected separately. The main reasons citizens bring out as obstacles in waste separate collection are lack of space for different bins in the kitchen and the long distances from the nearest biowaste container. Help finding the most feasible solution together for Tallinn. The best solution wins support for the pilot project for one year in Tallinn to implement the solution and improve it further.

Technological advancements have flattened the world and brought people from across the globe together via the ever-growing cyberspace.  Industry experts predict there will be 6 billion internet users by 2022 (75 percent of the projected world population of 8 billion). Cybercriminals smell blood now, not silicon:) This rising tide of cybercrime has pushed cybersecurity spending to more than €69.7 billion in 2017. That doesn't include an accounting of internet of things (IoT), automotive/drone security, and other cybersecurity categories.  We have to fight against this incoming tide. It is hard to believe that people used to keep their money under their mattresses.  Common illnesses that are now easily treated used to take lives of millions. Modern advancements have solved these problems but opened the door for cybercrime.  Two of the top targets of cyber attacks involve the healthcare and financial sectors. We are all vulnerable and need to work together to find smarter ways to fight these threats! Please join us for the Garage48  Cyber Security Hackathon from 20-22 of April @ IT College! The main aim of the  Garage48 Cyber Security hackathon is to find solutions to some of these recurring problems or come up with completely fresh approaches which would take the cybersecurity to the next level! Through intense brainstorming, different expertise and top-notch mentors, a lot can be done in a weekend. What might be a daunting task alone, can be easily done together! We are looking for : data experts,  non-technical cybersecurity or data protection professionals, UI/UX designers, front-end developers, back-end developers, electronics engineers, mechanics engineers, marketers, visionaries, experts, marketing gurus and passionate project managers! Join us for this weekend-long intensive development event where we will develop working prototypes in 48 hours! Prepare yourself for 48 hours full of hacking, coding, designing, building, selling and thinking BIG! If you’re ready to create something crazy and innovative, then this is the event for you!

The field of construction is something every single person has at least some contact with : either you're a real estate owner or tenant or you're one of tens of millions people who actually work in the industry. Although the construction business involves tens of different counterparts like architects, developers and actual construction workers the mechanisms of the field are outdated. Let us name just few of the top challenges the industry is facing :1)Poor productivity and profitability 2)Lack of on-time and on-budget projects 3)Very little digitalization and digital collaboration and the list goes on. Garage48 was reached out by the e-difice, the digital construction cluster of Estonia in order to get the brightest minds together and really get things going for good! We're inviting the real field experts, business people, developers and designers to join us at Tallinn University of Technology to bring innovation and technology to the build environment and be part of a weekend which will be remembered as the one that changed how things work in the construction world! Do you have an idea how to get access to important information so job could get done faster and projects would keep on moving faster? Or do you have a genius idea of a field specific communication tool that doesn't exist yet? Do you know how to best get all the drawings, schedules, process performance, budgets and reports to one place? Then please join and present your idea to others and combine a dream-team! Right now the biggest strengths of the construction field stands in construction but the planning process plays a huge role in the field and innovation together with technolgy can make a real big change! Let's build a better indsutry together!

In today's world, we all rely on technology more than we really want to. Therefore it’s important that technology is available, protected and secure. Unfortunately, the most technology that is available is quite vulnerable and can be easily hacked. Idea Garage Cyber Security Tallinn Powered by UK will bring together people from many different fields: data scientists, non-technical and technical cyber security or data protection professionals, designers, developers, marketers, passionate project managers and much more. Idea Garage is not your regular workshop, where people gather together, talk a lot and then go home and forget about it. It is a much-needed gathering, where initial ideas will mature and be ready for the next stage. Through intense brainstorming, different expertise and top-notch mentors, a lot can be done in a day. What might be a daunting task alone, can be easily done together. Idea Garage: Cyber Security Tallinn Powerered by UK is an event series which has been brought to you by Garage48, British Embassy and Startup Estonia. The idea is to organize 3 Idea Garages on Cyber Security - one in Riga, one in Vilnius and one in Tallinn.

Garage48 has partnered up with SEB to investigate open banking - new kid on the block, the subject that has made banking interesting to many and will surely gather much more attention in the near future. Garage48 Baltic Open Banking hackathon will take place in the SEB Innovation Center in Tallinn on the 16th to 18th of February 2018  and is meant for corporates and fintech enthusiasts from Estonia, Latvia and beyond. The main goal of the Garage48 Baltic Open Banking hackathon is to create next generation financial services. Best teams will get a chance to develop their ideas and prototypes further into real solutions in cooperation with SEB. Open API could be named as the major turning point in banking after internet- and mobile banking. Banks will start to provide API’s to connect directly to your account, credit card or any other service. This makes it possible to build new solutions that have not been possible until now. Teach Siri to tell you your balance, aggregate data across several banks, automate invoice processing, build a chatbot for banking or connect data from several disciplines in order to create concepts newer seen in the world before. Garage48 together with SEB has the reason to believe that open banking will be the new standard and that the real potential of it has yet to be discovered. We are therefore inviting all the techies, creatives, marketers, data enthusiasts, designers and geeks with a vision to come together and challenge fintech as we know it today and remake banking for the digital age! We encourage you to come and pitch your own brilliant idea, but check out this real life challenges provided by SEB before : SEB has created a Developer Portal with a set of example API-s for co-creating new services to clients in Baltics. www.seb.lv/open-banking SEB is also open to create new API-s depending on your proposed business models. Therefore please join the event on FB and post your thoughts on the wall!
