  3. Who will you engage as your key stakeholder(s) to develop the solutions during the EpiHack event? Who will be responsible for them after the event?

  5. What are the relationships between your organization and the key stakeholder groups (e.g. government, technology sector)?
  6. What level of funding and resources are your organization and partners able to provide to support the EpiHack?
