Winners of the hackathon will be invited to present their work at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City, NY USA.<\/p>\n<p><em>What are the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In September 2015, 193 countries agreed to work together on a 15-year global plan to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all by 2030. This plan includes 17 Goals that serve as an urgent guiding masterplan to tackle the world\u2019s greatest challenges and ensure that no one is left behind. Innovative individuals are urgently needed to join together with countries and partners to turn the bold and ambitious global plan into action. See the 17 SDGs <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainabledevelopment.un.org\/?menu=1300\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To rapidly generate an unprecedented level of innovation and collaboration around the SDGs, the 3-day #Connect2effect Global Hackathon will bring together these innovators with different skillsets ranging from marketing to programming to designing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The event will produce a series of basic workable prototypes that can be further expanded after the event. The best ideas will be developed and supported through local incubation programmes, mentoring on crowdfunding platform. Winners will receive an invitation to pitch their ideas at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Headquarters in New York at the Science, Technology &amp; Innovation Forum taking place at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Headquarters in NYC 15th &#8211; 17th of May.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Mitchell Toomey, Director of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ SDG Action Campaign stresses the value of #Connect2Effect for the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ: \u201cAt the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ SDG Action Campaign, we consistently strive to find ways to reach new audiences to inform and inspire them about the SDGs. We also empower individuals to work together and serve as agents of change, honouring the best solutions in a variety of methods. We are eager to empower the best creative thinkers and problems solvers to help the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ and governments achieve their goals\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">H.E. Peter Thomson, President of the United Nations General Assembly, fully supports the #Connect2Effect initiative: \u201cEach and every one of us has a critical role to play \u2013 as individuals role-modeling sustainable living, as innovators and creative thinkers conceiving new ideas, and as activists working with others to implement solutions to shape our world towards a sustainable future. I look forward to being inspired by the outcomes of the hackathon and to warmly welcome the winners to the United Nations\u201c<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The initiative is the first of an annual series which over time will create a sustained network of individuals who can mentor each other and work together to come up with the best ideas for achieving the SDGs, as Max Kallis, CEO of Influx Trust points out: \u201cWe are eager to support the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ by leveraging our network and expertise to come up with solutions to some of the world\u2019s greatest problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This year\u2019s hackathon will bring together people in Manama, Bahrain, Lagos, Nigeria, Chandigargh, India, and Lisbon, Portugal to tackle industry innovation and infrastructure (SDG 9), in London, U.K., and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to reduce inequalities (SDG 10) and in Bali, Indonesia, Geneva, Switzerland and New York City, USA to generate a shift towards more responsible consumption and production (SDG 12).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Applications are open until 3rd March 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Want to know more?
