Global Urban Data Fest Mexico
The Global Urban Datafest Hackathon was held in 2015 in 25 cities around the world. In Mexico, three events were organized: Mexico City, Guadalajara and Chihuahua. The goal of the hackathons were to gather experts such that, through the use of open data, they will design technological applications to solve various problems that affect these cities. The Guadalajara event focused on the issue of migrant security and the geo-location along the route that migrants travel within Mexico on their way to the United States.
