During the Policy Hack 4 local governments will present a dedicated Challenge.
A team of four to five ‘hackers’ (entrepreneurs, policy makers, corporate execs, investors) is assigned to each challenge. They have two hours to brainstorm and draft solutions for the concrete challenges proposed.
Hacking teams are asked to draft a solution that had a reasonable level of utility and featured the ability to be replicated as well as prospects of being adopted.
The solutions will be then pitched to a team of judges that will provide insights about each proposed solutions.
