PRESS RELEASE. In a world increasingly in need of innovative solutions to address pressing global challenges, the Blockchain for Good Alliance (BGA), a non-profit organization founded by Bybit, has announced the launch of the Sustainable Innovation Summit: The 17 SDGs Challenge, a global hackathon aimed at harnessing blockchain technology to create meaningful social impact. This event is a global movement driven by a commitment to aligning blockchain technology with the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to invite innovators, visionaries, and entrepreneurs from around the globe to join forces for social impact.
The UN’s SDGs provide a comprehensive roadmap for tackling some of the world’s most urgent problems, from eradicating poverty to promoting clean water access, reducing inequalities, and ensuring sustainable cities. Blockchain, with its potential to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accountability, is uniquely positioned to address these challenges, making the BGA’s Sustainable Innovation Summit a pivotal moment in the quest for a better future.
A Platform for Real Change
This hackathon goes beyond showcasing technical skills — it’s a platform for visionary ideas that can bring about real change.
Participants are invited to align their projects with one or more of the SDGs, creating innovative blockchain-driven solutions that address global issues such as climate action, gender equality, and affordable and clean energy. Whether it’s reducing inequalities or ensuring responsible consumption and production, the projects emerging from this event have the potential to make a tangible, long-lasting impact.
The hackathon aims to empower innovators, visionaries, and entrepreneurs from around the world to collaborate and develop solutions that will reshape industries and societies. With blockchain being a powerful enabler of transformation, participants will have the unique opportunity to scale their ideas and play a critical role in driving global development goals.
With hundreds of project submissions, this hackathon offers an extraordinary platform to scale solutions for lasting global change.
Join the Movement
The global hackathon will culminate in a final pitch battle for the top 10 project finalists on 11 November 2024, where the Blockchain for Good Alliance will bring together government representatives, industry leaders, and global innovators for the inaugural Web3 Oscar: The Chains of Change, a gala event in Bangkok celebrating the most impactful blockchain projects.
The top participants in the Sustainable Innovation Summit will have the opportunity to present their solutions on this world stage, with the chance to win the $100,000 USD grand prize and gain access to a global network of investors and mentors.
