Demos- NYC Ports & Logistics Hackathon

90% of world trade is carried out by the international shipping industry. In the US alone, the economic impact of the shipping industry is $436.6 Billion and 13.5 Million jobs. The shipping industry is one of the most traditional, regulated industries and has set standards globally but has seen little innovation.

Listen to demos from 48 hours of building prototypes, rapid fire market validation and business model invention.

The winning team will receive a cash prize of $5,000.

This hackathon is backed by Ports America, the Port Authority of NY/NJ, Mærsk Group, Microsoft, Quintiq, INTTRA, Cisco and the Red Sea Gateway Terminal who are all keen to disrupt this massive industry.
