About this event
The EUDIS Defence Hackathon will be hosted in eight simultaneous hackathons at different national locations across EU Member States and Norway that tackle pressing defence challenges for the European Defence industry.
1st Prize 🥇 5000€
2nd Prize 🥈 2500€
3rd Prize 🥉 1500€
In addition to local prizes, the eight national hackathon winners gain access to 40 hours of mentoring programme held over two months, get to pitch in front of EU Member States representatives, and the top three EU-wide winners get to attend an international high-tech event to pitch their solutions. The mentoring programme will support the eight winning teams in building sustainable and successful businesses, introducing them to important defence knowledge and contacts.
THREE CHALLENGES: Which one will you solve?💡
1️⃣) Protection of space assets – detect, analyse and counter threats in space
2️⃣) Space for defence – Earth-Observation, Navigation, Communication, and coordination of multi-domain military operations
3️⃣) Sovereign Aerospace – Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Management, Production, and Countermeasures
HACKERS: Who can participate?
You must be a citizen AND resident from EU/Norway/Ukraine and be 18 years or older to participate in the hackathon competition. Failure to provide proof during the hackathon on such terms will disqualify you. All teams must have at least 2 members and a submitted project.
After the mentorship program, winners will have the unique opportunity to participate in an exclusive EU-wide live pitching competition.
This is an exciting next step for the top teams to showcase their innovative solutions, compete against other top participants across Europe, and potentially secure further EU recognition and awards.
