Approach and implementation
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The focus of the participation was to show the foundation´s work with the 17 global goals, partly by showing how our hackathons are carried out, but also by showing a number of our solutions that have undergone our acceleration program Build for Earth and are now on the market. We did this by showing videos, images and other material from Hack for Earth at COP27, and also other of our hackathons. Our Secretary General talked about our vision in panel debates and other networking events. The reactions from the audience were very positive.
