BioPaavo Hackathon: ValtraHackathon

JAMK University of Applied Sciences, BioEconomy Business Accelerator BioPaavo and Kasvu Open, in cooperation with Valtra Inc., are opening a Hackathon that aims to find solutions that can provide added value to the end customer from the data generated by the working machines, hence contributing to digitalization, knowledge-based management, real-time data-based decision-making and profitability of sustainable food production and primary production in the food chain. Hackathon aims to highlight the potential of advanced algorithmics and software development to utilize the data generated by working machines and to develop new applications that improve end-user’s situational awareness.

Valtra Inc. is the leading manufacturer and service provider for agricultural tractors in the Nordic countries. Valtra tractors are known for their ease of use, versatility and durability. Tractors designed for individual needs are used by precision farmers using new technologies, agricultural contractors and professionals using more traditional mechanical machines.

Valtra's mandate concerns solutions that can add value to the end customer from the telemetry data generated by the working machines. In this way, digitalization of sustainable food production and primary production, data management, decision-making based on real-time data, situational awareness, adaptation to climate change and profitability in the food chain can be promoted.

Hackathons are open to anyone interested: companies, research institutes, educational organizations and students, as well as other actors. Both Hackathons are conducted in English.
