2023 CALL FOR CODE
GLOBAL CHALLENGE
In 2023, Call for Code evolved from an annual global challenge into a dynamic series of quarterly “Challenge Rounds” held throughout the year. Each round’s champions advanced to a high-stakes Grand Prize competition, where one team emerged as the winner in each of Call for Code’s three distinct categories: Developer, University, and Independent Software Vendor/Startup. This fresh format rallied innovators worldwide to design AI-driven technologies aimed at tackling climate change through sustainable solutions.
“This year, we introduced a continuous format for Call for Code, creating more opportunities for developers at every stage – from students to seasoned professionals – to engage, sharpen their skills, and contribute to meaningful, sustainable change,” said David Clark, founder and CEO of Call for Code.
