Yettel’s Call to Find Solution to the Energy Crisis

Mobile network operator Yettel's developer competition encourages the identification and development of technological solutions to tackle the energy crisis, the company told the state news agency MTI.

The two-round competition, called 'Hack it your way', is open to brainstormers, startups, development teams and programming professionals and targets three topics: reducing household spending with smart devices, helping small and medium-sized enterprises to operate more efficiently and rethinking urban transport in a greener, more energy-efficient way.

The competition, with a total prize of HUF 5 million, aims to bring together the best Hungarian brains to tackle the problems faced by the community, society and even the rest of the world in general. The winners will be announced in early November, after the contestants have presented their solutions, based on the decision of a jury delegated by Yettel. The winners of each theme will take home HUF 1 million, the absolute winner will take home a further HUF 1.8 million and the Audience Prize winner will receive HUF 200,000.
