The aim of the Digital Twin hackathon is to stretch the minds of South African and Dutch university students from different academic disciplines to solve relevant city problems. Participants will be able to experiment with emerging technologies and improve their problem-solving abilities. The outcomes of the hackathon will potentially benefit the City of Johannesburg and improveΒ the daily lives of those people residing, working, or simply navigating through this city.
