What is our hackathon?

The challenges

Join us in our internal hackathon and work on developing a prototype solution for one of our challenges! The challenges will reflect some of our current internal digital innovation ideas, aiming at enhancing efficiency and customer experience.

The final challenges and supporting information will be revealed in the information session. Note that not all our challenges will involve working with large datasets; some will be oriented towards programming user interface and developing framework supporting our applications.

Available support during the event

Challenges contributors will present the challenges at the information session and will be present to act as mentor intermittently during the event.

Judges and criteria

The judges will be DNV GL personnel having managerial, sales and technical expertise. The criteria will focus on how actionable the prototypes are and how much improvement can be derived from it, from efficiency and customer experience point of view.
