What’s your definition of a weekend with meaning?! For me, it has to be HackZurich 2022 - the biggest hybrid hackathon in the world, with 500 on-site participants and around 1000 more online, which brought together creativity, passion, talent, technology, and energy. I was delighted to participate as a juror with the brilliant @swissretv team who had developed an SDGs challenge centered on using extended reality technologies (XRD) alongside real-world data to mitigate the impact of natural catastrophes. With COP27 still front of mind for so many of us, did you know that currently 75% of risks from natural disasters and climate change currently remain unchanged?
In this extended podcast with the always inspiring Bianca Scheffler, Swiss Re Lead for Data Culture & Innovation we reflect on our highlights and key learnings from the challenge. Hear more about the hackathon, get insights on how technology, collaboration, and small agile teams have approached solution building, and explore why these types of activities with tech talent are key to delivering innovation for business and societal impact that scales.
