From zero to impact in for weeks, so how few annoyed people can make a difference. Case of Smogathon

14:00 - 14:30, 19th of May (Thursday) 2016/ STARTUP STAGE

According to WHO about 44,000 poles die prematurely every year due to air pollution. Yes, that is more than 10 times more than from car accidents. Krakow, infamous for its bad air quality, is known for fine startupers and great companies, however there are no smog fighting projects. Problem, which influences all of us! One day, few annoyed people declared a war to this problem and created a Smogathon - a hackathon that had only one purpose – how to beat smog with technology! Come to the lecture and get to know a fascinating story of building something from scratch, with no resources, but – anger and will for change.
