The e-Tibet Hackathon:

A Digital Nation Experiment

Build a Digital Tibet to empower the diaspora

What is the e-Tibet Hackathon?

The e-Tibet Hackathon, powered by Draper Nation, envisions a digital Tibet that unites the global Tibetan diaspora.

This hackathon aims to inspire innovation and collaboration, enabling participants to create solutions that redefine self-determination and serve as a model for displaced communities worldwide.
