European Defense Tech Hackathon
Join us and 150+ hackers from all across Europe this February in Munich
👇 At the same time as the Munich Security Conference 👇
About
​In 2024, we gathered 300+ participants pursuing 80+ projects across our three major European Defense Tech Hackathons in Munich, Copenhagen, and Paris.
This February, we’ll be back in Munich to organize Europe’s largest defense tech hackathons once again – this time, in conjunction with the Munich Security Conference. We will focus on a broad range of challenges, from counter-drone solutions, electronic warfare, AI for defense, navigation in GNSS-denied envinroments, or demining.
​Get inspired by the challenges or feel free to bring your own project. You’ll get feedback from folks who have been on the frontline to put you in a position to continue towards deployment.
Key Partner
We’re thrilled to count Helsing as our key partner, not only for our upcoming defense tech hackathon in Munich but also long-term, helping us to bring even more hackathons to life!
