The Commonwealth Secretariat and The Commonwealth Telecommunications Organization are proud to announce The Commonwealth Digital Trade Hackathon.
The Commonwealth Digital Trade Hackathon aims to scout, select and support impact-driven teams with game-changing solutions that aim to address the shift to increased digital technology as we strive to achieve a fairer and more frictionless international trade system across the Commonwealth and beyond.
Coming this October 2022!

- Participants will choose a vertical and a problem statement provided by a partner
- 48 hours to work on solution
- Workshops, mentorship sessions, learning sessions
- Submission through the Digital Hack Platform and hybrid presentation
- Awarding
