Six teams won a prize at IATA’s latest ONE Record Hackathon event which brings together teams of developers to work on innovative solutions that address an industry challenge.
This year’s event was held in Frankfurt and hosted by Lufthansa Cargo, with 20 teams working around the clock to develop a solution that utilises the ONE Record data sharing standard.
Brendan Sullivan, IATA global head of cargo, said: “The hackathon is a dynamic platform for digital experts across the industry to develop innovative solutions, that will help strengthen the air cargo supply chain.
“IATA is committed to fostering innovation and creating a more efficient and sustainable aviation industry. We congratulate the winners and participants.”
