The application of Machine Learning (ML) can be a decisive asset in addressing sustainability. Whether by optimising business efficiencies or reducing waste, it can be a key component for organisations to tackle their environmental and social impact.

Contino and Google Cloud are proud to present the Data for Good Hackathon: Applying ML to Sustainability Goals.
Designed to drive the theme of sustainability in ML, this free-to-attend hackathon will be a forum for developers, data scientists, engineers and solution architects of all skill levels to socialise, build ideas and develop ML and advanced analytics solutions that can help shape a better future for all.

Date

Kicking off in a virtual format on Saturday 2 October, this hybrid event will conclude with an in-person final day at a Central London location on Saturday 6 November.


Format

Participants can register individually or as teams of up to four people. Those registering without a team will have the opportunity to form groups throughout the hackathon.

All teams will be awarded Google Cloud Credits in the value of USD 200 to develop their solutions. There will also be mentoring sessions hosted throughout the hackathon to answer any questions and help teams continually refine their ideas.

With some amazing prizes up for grabs and a chance to develop solutions that can help shape a better future for all, this is an event you won’t want to miss!
