The global tech community is calling for everyone to join \u201ethe Global Hack\u201c online event. The \u2019hackathon\u2019 will share and rapidly develop ideas for urgently needed solutions to the socio-economic crisis and develop new ideas to increase resilience post-crisis. Starting from Estonia the \u201eHack the Crisis\u201c hackathon initiative has rapidly grown into a worldwide movement that comes together in \u201ethe Global Hack\u201c.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201eThe crisis is far from over and the fight is real, but the future is now. We can battle the problems of the immediate crisis with solutions that also increase our longer-term resilience. We should consider how we support our changing relationships; a new economy; poor healthcare; and strengthening the arts. We must also develop effective solutions to respond to future pandemics and other crises so we never have to hide again\u201c says Toomas Hendrik Ilves<\/strong>, President of Estonia from 2006 to 2016.<\/p>\n

The tech community initiative \u2013 \u201ethe Global Hack\u201c online hackathon<\/strong> \u2013 will run from 09-12 April<\/strong> and is expected to attract over 1 million participants from across the world. \u201eApproaching half of humanity is under lockdown. Online, with no borders, tech activists are building solutions in an epic rapid prototyping hackathon. It will be the biggest hackathon held, uniting humanity with purpose online at a time we are being separated physically. This is a unique time when the whole world is fighting the same problem together. If we move fast, the Global Hack can relieve a lot of immediate pain people are suffering as well as sustained social and economic benefits\u201c adds Toomas Hendrik Ilves.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So far the \u201eHack the Crisis\u201c online hackathons have reached over 100,000 participants in more than 30 countries. \u201eFrom India to Brazil people have found a way to invest their time and effort to create solutions with significant socio-economic impact. We have seen solutions in the areas of medicine, community management, business development,\u201c he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
