A first of it's kind hackathon for EDTH! We're partnering with the Marine Technology Center in Sweden to run a hackathon at a naval base!

• Demo your equipment to the Swedish Navy and FMV test and evaluation
• Get wrecked by the best British USVs - Kraken
• Collaborate with other defense tech companies to build full-scale naval defense

Getting there

It's not as complicated as it sounds. The easiest is to fly to Copenhagen (Kastrup) and then take a train. Or fly from Stockholm (Arlanda) to Ronneby. Or boat from Gdynia, PL, to Karlskrona directly!

Visitors

We'll have demos from Kraken, Nordic Air Defence, Saab, and more (tbc) on Thursday, where you will be invited to attend. If you'd like to demo something, please contact us!
