Time to Accelerate European Defense Innovation 🚀

Join us and 150+ hackers from all across Europe and beyond for the European Defense Tech Hackathon on July 3-5, 2026, in Rome, Italy.

Goal

We want to bridge the gaps between technologists, the public sector, investors, and operators in dual-use and defense technology. This hackathon will demonstrate the talent and drive of the European ecosystem.

From counter-UAS and SIGINT to autonomous interceptors and denied-environment comms, build prototypes that solve the defensive problems facing the frontline today

Get inspired by the challenges we have prepared, or feel free to bring your own project. You'll get feedback from folks who have been on the frontline to ensure you're solving real problems.

Our goal with the hackathon is to put you in a position to continue towards deployment.
