Here is a life-changing opportunity

The winner receives seed funding of €20,000 which is about R314 098,80 to help bring their idea to life.

There are just a few days left for South African entrepreneurs to enter this exciting competition.

The Sandoz HACk is a global competition that invites entrepreneurs and innovators in the field of digital technology to submit inspirational ideas with the potential to complement or even positively disrupt established approaches to driving access to healthcare.

Sandoz HACk opened for entries in October and the closing date for entries, 30 November, is fast approaching.

This year’s theme is ‘Leveraging Digital Technologies to Solve Healthcare Access Challenges’: encouraging ideas that can drive patient access or help healthcare providers to reach more people.

Three shortlisted entrants, to be announced in January 2019, will receive support from Sandoz experts to develop their ideas and transform potential into real impact. The three finalists will travel to the world’s leading forward-focused gathering of creative minds, South by Southwest (SXSW, Austin, Texas) in March next year, to explore, network and discover the latest innovative trends. Following in-person selection, one winner will be chosen and awarded seed funding and support from Sandoz, to help bring their idea to life. The winner receives seed funding of €20,000 (which is about R314 098,80) to help bring their idea to life.
