The theme “Getting Unstuck” is a nod to the grip the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the world, leaving people stuck at home in a way many have never experienced. Teams are encouraged to think about the ways technology can get society virtually unstuck, empowering people to connect, move and exist in new and innovative ways. Members of the MACH ecosystem will make their products, knowledge and coaching available to participating teams as they build out their projects. <\/p>\n

“The edge this hackathon has over traditional ones is that teams aren’t building from scratch; they’re starting with microservices-based apps, which are essentially ready-made building blocks,” Pascal Lagarde<\/span>, VP Commerce of Valtech and MACH Alliance executive board member. “Rather than spending days writing lines of code, participants will spend the week pushing the envelope of MACH technology and composable architectures to see just how big and bold this approach enables us to be in a limited period of time. We anticipate some pretty incredible, forward-thinking outcomes.”<\/p>\n

Teams can be physically anywhere in the world. The MACH Alliance will offer demos of the tech and mentoring from experienced engineers to help teams develop their projects. The week will close with virtual presentations, and prizes will be given to the winning ideas. Award categories include:<\/p>\n
