Hackdays is a project of Code for Japan, a pioneering organization that has been at the forefront of promoting civic tech in Japan for over 11 years. Throughout this time, Code for Japan has cultivated a robust community and delivered a wide range of services that have significantly impacted the public goods landscape, particularly during times of crisis. By rallying contributors from across the globe, we have nurtured a culture of self-reliance and collective problem-solving, building solutions tailored to our needs.
Hackdays is exploring a way to sustain and expand this culture and community through the integration of web3.
We will commit to sharing the knowledge and insights we’ve gained with other countries in Asia, recognizing the shared challenges and opportunities across the region. Our members have strong connections to Pagoda, the Asian Ethereum network, and other public goods organizations in Japan. These ties position us uniquely to collaborate across borders, leveraging our experience and networks to contribute to the broader Asian public goods ecosystem.
By bridging the gap between traditional civic tech approaches and web3, Hackdays seeks to create a model that can be replicated and adapted throughout Asia. We believe that by fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, we can help strengthen public goods ecosystem across the region, ultimately contributing to a more connected and resilient Asian society.
