European Defense Tech Hackathon - Munich
The mission continues: simultaneously with the Munich Security Conference, we'll be organizing Europe's largest defense tech hackathon once again. Connect with fellow defense innovators, find a co-founder, and develop solutions that will eventually save lives!
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 folks who have been on the frontline to ensure you're solving real problems.
Our goal with the hackathon is to put you in a position to continue towards deployment.
