About Hackathon for Good
Hackathon for Good is a global community where data and AI innovators team up with governments, NGOs, researchers, and industry to build solutions for real societal challenges.
Rooted in The Hague and powered by The Hague Tech, Hackathon for Good is more than an event it’s a year-round platform that brings people, data, and technology together to create positive impact.
Every edition helps transition leaders prototype with data and AI by providing access to datasets, tools, training, and expert guidance. We believe technology can support a better, more inclusive world when developed ethically, creatively, and collaboratively.
