Datathon 2020 - Data against Covid and Corruption
The Datathon 2020 was an event promoted by the Vice Presidency of Colombia, organized with the support of the British Embassy in Bogotá, under the slogan "Data against Covid and Corruption". The contest was aimed at young people and students, who registered and formed teams to participate in the event remotely and digitally during the Covid-19 pandemic. The contest proposed to develop participatory digital innovations to monitor the use of public resources and strengthen transparency in public administration and procurement. 133 students and entrepreneurs from various cities and regions of the country were registered, forming 81 teams. 27 were shortlisted from their proposals, among which two were awarded money to develop the ideas presented.
