Smart Energy Hackathon 2017

Blue Solar sponsored Smart Energy Hackathon in Bangkok with an expectation to help accelerate the smart energy economy in Southeast Asia. An international alliance of partners have launched the Smart Energy Hackathon in Bangkok, Thailand from September 8-10, 2017 to accelerate the development of innovative software solutions to tackle energy challenges in Southeast Asia. Developers, data scientists, energy industry executives from all around Southeast Asia competed in a two-day coding campaign with $10,000 in prize offerings. Hackathons are creative sprint-like events allowing to identify new solutions to problems while providing a platform for teams to form - and potentially take ideas further into new ventures afterwards. The Smart Energy Hackathon was enabled by strategic sponsors including PTT Public Company Limited, Engie, Provincial Electricity Authority, Lykke, Whapow, Blue Solar and Mint Coworking Space, and co-organized by GIZ, TechGrind, CalCEF/New Energy Nexus, Chulalongkorn University Innovation Hub (CU) and Knowledge Xchange for Innovation (KX).
