# Hackathons

### AI + Environment EcoHackathon in Switzerland

In partnership with ETH AI Center, we organized our first ever hackathon in ETH Zurich last May to June 2024 with over 130 participants and 20 teams. The hackathon focused on protecting the Amazon Rainforest by challenging hackers to develop insightful analyses through AI and data visualization. [Learn more](https://hack.biodivx.org/).

### Local Hackathons

We also support local hackathons that align with GainForest's mission. Last February 2025, we sponsored [Blue Hacks](https://www.facebook.com/BlueHacksAdMU) [2025](https://www.facebook.com/BlueHacksAdMU) - an annual hackathon organized by the Computer Society of the Ateneo in Ateneo De Manila University, Philippines. With the theme "Natural Disaster Response and Coordination: Connect, Respond, Recover," we discussed how our work with [Oceanus Conservation](https://www.oceanusconservation.org/) on blue carbon ecosystems could support disaster resilience.
