The Mothership is an open innovation program (think extended hackathon) where select teams engage in an 8-week prototyping period using their unique expertise to help vulnerable landscapes on Earth. Its program results in an incubator-ready prototype that will help teams’ ideas take-off to the next level!

Registration is coming up for CopHack: The Big Blue! This hackathon is organized by the Mothership, a collaboration between Space4Good, World Startup Factory and AI Lab One. In the Mothership Missions, select teams engage in an 8-week prototyping period using space data and AI technologies to help vulnerable landscapes on Earth.

The Big Blue mission invites coders to explore the oceans, marine ecosystems and their declining health. Featuring challenges on:  sedimentation in coral reefs, sand mafia and inundation prediction modelling. Coders are challenged to build amazing applications using Copernicus Data and the winning team gets a seat in the Copernicus Accelerator. Read more on the challenges and the program below and apply before March 01.
