THEMES
Financial Inclusion
Warsaw’s civic engagement is growing alongside its social enterprise scene. Develop a project that stimulates local innovation and fosters a collaborative civic environment.
Social Responsibility
Warsaw faces growing environmental challenges like air pollution and waste management. Develop a solution that encourages citizens to participate in Warsaw’s environmental sustainability efforts.
Digital Empowerment
While Warsaw boasts a thriving tech scene, many residents struggle with basic digital skills and lack access to essential online services, government resources, and even job opportunities. Avalanche allows to build custom blockchains to cater to specific requirements.
Develop a solution that utilises an Avalanche Subnet to help Warsaw residents of all ages and backgrounds become more comfortable using blockchain technology in everyday life.
