(ČIA) CzechInvest, in cooperation with the Ministry of Industry and Trade, launches the virtual hackathon Hack the Crisis. The concept brings together the state, regions, universities, companies and associations to accelerate the implementation of selected projects reflecting the Czech Republic's priorities in the fight against coronavirus. The hackaton is roofed by the Spojujeme Česko (We Connect Czech Republic) platform. Thanks to the involvement of all relevant components of the state, the ministry and CzechInvest want to coordinate support for projects that encounter obstacles to their implementation, from lack of funding, lack of contacts, know-how and capacities to lengthy processes.
