The overall theme of the Hackathon is “Connecting Big Data and Maritime”.
100+ participants (developers, designers, domain experts) will convene for 36 hours of building prototypes, rapid fire market validation and business model invention. Participants will have rare access to top maritime industry and NYC tech executives, experts, mentors, investors and entrepreneurs so they can effectively work on building commercially viable solutions that address the shipping industry today.
The initial problems sets will focus on:
- Cyber Security
