Hack for Sweden is a competition and an unique collaboration between 23 Swedish authorities and organisations. The challenge for the participants in this hackathon is to make the use of open data available by the authorities in new applications or services that may result in new businesses and increased benefits.
The Hack for Sweden award will be given to the team or participant that combines data in a creative way and create the best and most innovative application or service which clearly shows the benefits with the open data delivered by the authorities. Apart from the Hack for Sweden award, there will be other special prizes given in four categories: Best visualisation, Best business value, Best value for the public and Participant’s prize.
The jury consists of Pernilla Rydmark, Joakim Jardenberg, Darja Isaksson and Andreas Sjöström. Project leader is Angela Yong at SMHI.
