Global Online Startup Weekend: Unite to Fight Covid-19
Global Online Startup Weekend: Unite to Fight Covid-19 are hackathons organized at the national level in more than 50 countries. The goal of the events is the development of digital solutions which face the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In these virtual events, entrepreneurs and technicians meet to work together in a program that, by means of financing and giving mentions, rewards several projects in each country. More than 60 people participated in the virtual meeting organized for Panama, which took place on April, from 24th to the 26th. There were several winning projects, including: the Imuni App, a digital vaccination calendar and the ?Pahoy? platform, owned by the Panamanian Tourism Communicators, which proposes activities that digitally connect local entrepreneurs with global travelers.
