Climathon is a global movement that is organized locally. So it is a city-based program that offers a clear pathway to climate action. At the core of the Climathon program is a yearly 24-hour idea-marathon, ideathon, that takes place in hundreds of other cities across many continents.
During the ideathon, a diverse group of participants, ranging from policymakers to hackers, youth to academics, students to business leaders, will come together to collaborate on forward-thinking ideas that tackle local climate challenges.
In the spirit of powering collaboration while at the same time serving society in a much stronger way Baselhack joined forces with us. We feel that Climathon and Baselhack are a natural fit. Their motto is: We are more than a Hackathon. We connect people, take fun seriously and grow open innovation. They join uns with the power ot their sponsors Basler Versicherungen, Actemium and Damaris Meier Personalberatung. The creative concepting power for sustainable enterprises and cities at the Climathon comes together with the technology muscles of the Baselhack community. What a magic potion!
