Connect2Effect - UN Hackathon

THIS IS NO ORDINARY HACKATHON

From 9 to 11 March 2017, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Action Campaign, the Office of the President of the United Nations General Assembly and Influx Trust are teaming up to turn 1000 people in 9 cities around the world into Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Entrepreneurs during the inaugural #Connect2Effect event, a 3-day global hackathon around the SDGs. Winners of the hackathon will be invited to present their work at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City, NY USA.

In September 2015, 193 countries agreed to work together on a 15-year global plan to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all by 2030. Innovative individuals are urgently needed to join together with countries and partners to turn the bold and ambitious global plan into action.

To rapidly generate an unprecedented level of innovation and collaboration around the SDGs, the #Connect2effect Global Hackathon invites YOU to take part in this global movement of change and social enterprise.
