SocialBoost: A Ukrainian platform to solve national challenges

Platform that aims to solve national challenges by connecting people and developing projects

SocialBoost is a Ukrainian platform that connects start-up companies, people with technological expertise and government bodies to solve national challenges and engage in socially meaningful IT-projects. The platform organises hackathons to tackle socially complex issues and supports projects focusing on socio-economic development. SocialBoost uses different types of open data for the various hackathons and projects. For example, open data on infrastructure is used to develop a mobile application that tracks damages of infrastructure such as potholes. In addition, SocialBoost promotes open data and helps government bodies to process and publish more public data in a machine-readable format.

SocialBoost is one of the over 400 use cases published on the European Data Portal. If you are aware of another inspiring use case, share your experience and knowledge about different applications and websites using open data with the EDP via mail, Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn.
