Hackathon for Supply Chain Transparency with Zalando SE and Volkswagen Group
This Hackathon is designed to connect social business entrepreneurs, industry experts from Zalando SE, Volkswagen Group, N3XTCODER and other partners.
In a series of three hackathons we build powerful interdisciplinary teams that work on real challenges that contribute towards more sustainable patterns of consumption and production. The opacity of the supply chain is a major issue for brands and companies. Consumers are demanding more information on topics such as ethical labour regulation and environmental impact and the status quo cannot provide this.
Our Goals:
1. Strengthen & support social entrepreneurs, NGOs & NPOs
2. Establish an collective impact format that encourages social entrepreneurs, tech community and industry experts to work together
3. Identify innovative tech solutions for social innovation focused on supply chain transparency
