🌊"Waves of Change" Hackathon Programme
Modules for Economic Development Stakeholders
As part of the exceptional edition of the Participatory Science Hackathon for the SDGs on RĂ©union Island, several stand-alone modules are available for economic development professionals->https://www.training-for-development.com/En-Novembre-Hackathon-Vagues-de-changement-a-la-Reunion].
As environmental, social, and economic transformations reshape our territories, economic development stakeholders are facing major challenges: supporting businesses through their transitions, strengthening territorial attractiveness, anticipating changes across economic sectors, developing new skills, and fostering more resilient economic models.
Meeting these challenges requires new approaches based on collaboration, knowledge sharing, and the active involvement of all stakeholders.
This is where integrating participatory science activities becomes especially valuable.
In this context, the Participatory Science Hackathon is far more than a meeting point for researchers, citizens, project leaders, and economic stakeholders: it is a space for collective exploration to identify new opportunities, share solutions, and build new synergies around impact-driven innovation.
The "Waves of Change" Participatory Science Hackathon offers dedicated modules specifically designed to help economic development stakeholders address these challenges.
As an economic development stakeholder, join these modules and leave with:
(Free participation upon mandatory registration)
- Practical methods for identifying economic opportunities emerging from participatory science projects
- Strategies for integrating local scientific and environmental data into your territorial development initiatives
- A better understanding of emerging economic models related to the blue economy, sustainable finance, and impact-driven innovation
- Case studies and feedback from project leaders who have successfully transformed scientific initiatives into economic activities
- Practical guidance for supporting or financing impact projects emerging from participatory approaches
- Opportunities to connect and exchange with other economic stakeholders, funders, and impact project leaders
- A firsthand look at the projects developed during the Hackathon’s final presentation, offering inspiration and potential investment opportunities
