Decode Dubai is a hackathon initiative by Dubai Internet City and in5. The second edition was co-organised by The Assembly. In keeping with DIC being accepted as a City submission to the Smart City App Hack, The Assembly were tasked with hosting the live Hackathon at in5 Innovation Centre and invite the community to hack to the five themes of Urban Mobility, Energy & Emission, Culture & Tourism, Shopping & Retail, and Collaborative City.
