About the Meetup

We are excited to announce that our Supply Chain Transparency Hackathon Series will continue in 2019!

The format supports impact-driven Ventures with the Berlin tech community and industry experts from Zalando SE, Volkswagen-Group, Adidas AG, Deutsche Bahn AG, and N3XTCODER. During our Hackathons we build powerful interdisciplinary teams that work on new solutions in the field of Traceability (Ability to verify where your products are being created from raw materials to finished goods) and Visibility (Ability to reliably map how your products are being created) and Transparency (willingness to disclose accurate information that is accessible to the relevant stakeholders & enables comparison)

We invite you to support amazing impact driven ventures by contributing with your skills!

In this meetup you have the opportunity to learn from successful social startups we worked with in 2018.

If you have a solution delivering supply chain transparency and want to be part of the series – contact us! [email protected]

Speaker Sonja Westphal

Having gained experience with on-site training in textile factories in Cambodia, Pakistan and Bangladesh, Sonja Westphal was excited about the prospects for capacity building in these countries, but also by the challenge of measuring the impact of those training programs. As she found out that there are no digital solutions, which are specifically tailored to this target group, she quit her job to fully focus on designing a completely new product to address sustainability in global supply chains.
