The Embassy of Israel in Japan and The Nippon Foundation are hosting the I’M-POSSIBLE DisABILITY Hackathon aiming to create assistive technologies and service solutions that can empower people with disabilities to become I’M-POSSIBLE and overcome their everyday challenges!

Connecting Japan and Israel, in the I’M-POSSIBLE Hackathon, you’ll meet like-minded people who want to help people with disabilities and form teams. You will play an invaluable role as a team member and support the creative process for the Hackathon by sharing your knowledge with others on our online platform. In addition, experts in the assistive technologies and other relevant professionals will join as your mentors and support the process in creating new solutions together.

Build your team, flaunt your talents, and leave your team’s final project submission in the hands of our judges. The most outstanding submissions will be awarded at the end of it all, giving you the praise you deserve for your exceptional talents!

Regardless of having disabilities, profession or skills, anyone who wants to contribute to assist people with disabilities can participate. We want to hear a solution you envision for the challenges in the Hackathon’s tracks.

So, why not join us in the I’M-POSSIBLE Hackathon?
