Did we succeed on developing innovative solutions to protect Europe's rare true old-growth forests' precious ecosystems? Come and find out in the next webinar of BF Digitalks event series! This webinar focuses on the Data Economy Program's Beyond Dead Wood Hackathon and its groundbreaking results.
We are excited to reveal the results of the Beyond Dead Wood Hackathon which was organized by Business Finland's Data Economy Program and other partners in March. The goal of the hackathon was to develop new business ideas to protect forest ecosystems by sustaining biodiversity and creating business opportunities to the stakeholders.
This goal was met successfully and now we want to celebrate it with all of you. We have our hackathon winner teams joining us to the webinar and presenting their new data revolutions that have the potential to reshape industry practices, reconcile conservation efforts with economic interests, and create a sustainable future for our planet that preserves biodiversity.
BF Digitalks is Business Finland's Digital Native Finland mission's common event series where we present different current digitalization phenomena in our events.
You can join this webinar free of charge, and it will be recorded.
