The International Business Machines (IBM) is holding a competition to decide which team will come up with the best solution for natural disaster relief.
IBM is calling developers to create a solution for natural disaster relief. The natural disaster could be of many types such as Earthquake, Explosion, Flood, Hurricane, Fire Evacuation, or tornado. The winning team will get an award of $200,000 from IBM to make a prototype and reality and get introduced to venture capitalists. The company’s President and CEO Ginni Rometty on 24th May at the VivaTech Conference 2018 in Paris announced Call for Code, a global initiative that calls on developers to build technology that can be used for natural disaster relief.
