Green Hackathon:

We're calling all environment and sustainability enthusiasts to help us create a momentous impact all around the world. #GreenHackathon aims to reshape our future with a focus on three main topics: Industrial Ecology, Alternative Energies, and Agribusiness

The Hackathon Design: 

The 2-phase Hackathon is held in 3 Cities: Cairo, Alexandria, Assuit, and Online before converging to the Final Hackathon in Cairo.

During the first phase, Teams are required to submit a concept note with the business model attached. This business model should be presented through a 1-min pitch video and a pitch deck that doesn’t exceed 10 slides.

For the second phase, teams are required to work on developing an MVP for the product they have developed throughout the first phase.
