Can you create solutions using space technology to help strengthen Europe’s security? The 5th CASSINI Hackathon is open for entries.

Be inspired by experts, learn to access data from Copernicus, EGNOS and Galileo, and connect with a team to build your solution. There are three challenges on the theme of defence and security:

  1. Enabling cross-terrain mobility
  2. Making the seas more secure
  3. Protecting our critical infrastructure

“In France, we are regularly confronted with the issue of sea security,” notes the organising team at Starburst. In the Parisian edition of the Hackathon, participants will be invited to leverage space data to tackle locally relevant problems such as illegal fishing, piracy, and defence for Mayotte.

 So, what are you waiting for? Join us in Paris between Friday 24th and Sunday 26th of March. All you need is an interest in space technology – and the motivation to develop a winning idea. There are local and international prizes for the best teams… giving the winners the support they need to launch their ventures!
