Challenges

Padang & Co helps our corporate and government partners unlock data and foster data innovation; discover new products and services; and connect start-ups and SMEs to funding and pilots – all via the cloud ecosystem.

Like hackathons, these are a platform for crowdsourcing innovative work, whether they are data visualisations, consumer and enterprise applications, or even data models. We manage a rigorous process from requirements gathering to designing the mechanics of the competition, from programming the workshops to attracting the right types of participants.

We strongly believe in the combination of physical (events) and digital (online challenge platform) to foster interactions between participants, the subject matter experts and our corporate and government partners. All our Challenges are supported by content and / or technical workshops and end with face-to-face final presentations to a panel of senior private or public sector representatives.
