SOLVE REAL-WORLD CHALLENGES ON EARTH & IN SPACE The NASA Space Apps Challenge, an innovative and public engagement initiative under NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, is coming to Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 2024. This global event aims to promote transparency, participation, and collaboration by making NASA's and its Space Agency Partners' data openly available to the public. The NASA Space Apps Challenge consists of two programs: the NASA International Space Apps Challenge and the NASA Space Apps Collective. Both programs encourage creative solutions to real-world problems using the extensive data provided by NASA. Funded by NASA's Earth Science Division through a contract with Booz Allen Hamilton, Mindgrub, and SecondMuse, the event is supported by the NASA Space Apps Global Organizing (GO) Team. This team, composed of members from these organizations, provides guidance and support to Local Leads and participants throughout the NASA Space Apps experience, fostering community engagement year-round. Join us in Halifax for this exciting opportunity to collaborate, innovate, and contribute to solving global challenges with NASA's data.

In today’s fast-paced digital era, the public sector faces an ongoing challenge: staying agile amidst constant change while meeting the escalating expectations of citizens.

This event aims to equip attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to develop comprehensive strategies that leverage strategies for optimized service delivery and improved citizen outcomes. From emerging trends to industry best practices, attendees will have the opportunity to explore innovative solutions that bridge the digital divide and propel their agencies forward. Join us for a day of innovation, knowledge-sharing, and networking as we work together to shape the future of government agencies. Register now to secure your spot and be a part of the journey towards digital excellence in the public sector.
