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.
Get inspired by the challenges we have prepared, or feel free to bring your own project. You'll get feedback from military personnel with hands-on experience in defense operations to ensure you're solving real problems.
Our goal with the hackathon is to put you in a position to continue towards deployment.
Visitors
