The top eight teams are currently further developing their solutions, which will be featured at SNI's Experimental Zone #1 event this May at the De Ceuvel Space in Amsterdam. Additionally, their projects have the option to be integrated into the Sovereign Nature Tech Stack. Together with other stakeholders who are part of the SNI ecosystem, our tech stack teams will also have more opportunities to run real-life experiments in public 'green' spaces in the future.

The Hackathon Challenge was as follows:

Develop ideas that enable representation of non-human life, establish governance models and empower ecosystems to act in their own interests and to produce and capture value in their own right. We invite you to define "value" broadly and consider in addition to practical ecological value other qualities such as beauty and inter-connectedness. Your idea should support SNI's broader goal to go beyond common approaches towards sustainability and break the cycle of human domination over 'nature'.

In thinking about identity and value, we are especially interested in solutions that acknowledge the challenges and opportunities of human design and architecture in dialogue with nature. We urge you to consider built environments where human/nature harmony is the goal.
