Description
The Europe Tech Hackathon is an intensive, hands-on innovation experience for people who want to turn ideas into real impact. In Vienna, interdisciplinary teams work on concrete sustainability challenges using technology, AI and data.
Throughout the hackathon, participants benefit from experienced mentors from tech, business and sustainability who actively support teams in sharpening ideas, validating assumptions and building functional prototypes. The results are presented to a professional jury of industry and innovation experts, who provide honest, constructive feedback focused on impact, feasibility and scalability.
More than a competition, the Europe Tech Hackathon is a unique experience: intense collaboration, rapid learning, strong community spirit and the energy of creating something meaningful together. Join if you want to build, learn and connect.
