Make Remote Work Work

The world of work has been transformed beyond all recognition over the last few years. The pivot to remote working has required both individuals and organizations to reimagine their work practices. This transition, while challenging, has also brought forward an exciting era of innovation, as demonstrated by the recent Weavy & Noodl MRWW23 Hackathon.

"Make Remote Work, Work" hackathon set the stage for a vibrant, virtual competition that put a spotlight on technological ingenuity, propelling tech enthusiasts to address the ongoing challenges in remote work. Spanning over an eventful period from April 14th to June 3rd, 2023, the hackathon really showcased the modern strength of Low and No-code applications.

The hackathon welcomed a broad array of thematic areas for participants to dive into.

As we look closer into the top three winners of the MRWW23 Hackathon, we celebrate not just the winning ideas but the spirit of innovation that has the potential to redefine the way we work. Focus, because the next section is about to get really interesting!
