#DigitalAgainstCOVID-19 ADB-AIM Hackathon 2020 for Asians (Win up to $10,000)

Deadline: July 31, 2020

Entries are open for the ADB-AIM Hackathon 2020. Asia Development Bank (ADB) and AIM are working together again this year, understandably focusing on the COVID-19 crisis. This 2020 ADB-AIM Hackathon provides a platform where you can become part of shaping the new normal.

With numerous hackathons and other formats drumming up solutions for response, recovery, and resilience, ADB and AIM will focus this hackathon on what life will be like in the post-COVID-19 era. The objective is to envision the new normal in light of potential long-term behavioral changes and encourage innovative solutions to address these shifts and their associated challenges.

Together, let’s find opportunities to utilize digital tools and technologies to tackle what life will be like in the new normal.

Challenge Areas
