Caracas - Global Urban Datafest

Caracas, Venezuela

WELCOME TO THE GLOBAL URBAN DATAFEST OF CARACAS.

THIS IS OUR SMART CITIES CHALLENGE

Do you want to help your city? Do you want to generate a solution for one of the biggest problems of the place where you live or work?

In Venezuela, we have many problems of security, mobility, sustainable environment, mayor citizens connection and other challenges that can be solved with good ideas.

Do you want to work with policy researchers, urbanism experts, business analysts, computer programmers, local non-profits group, journalists, and data scientists to solve some of these challenges, today?

Join us for Urban Datafest, where you will form teams of policy, business and tech students to brainstorm ideas, design prototypes and present your solution - a mobile app, new product, business plan, or something else entirely- that displays your insights on urban issues.

Our theme is "Smart Cities for the Rest of Us", and it will focus on how to create smart city solutions for several Venezuelan cities, not only Caracas.

At the same time, Global Urban Datafest will also be take place in more than 20 cities and 12 countries around the world. We will connect!!

Get inspired, form a team and work for the city!

There will be food for everyone and prizes for the winners.
