Based in a venue near the Baltic Sea, the Polish edition of the Hackathon will focus on the 3 important challenges:

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

We can’t wait to see how participants use space data to defend ports, pipelines, refineries, and the ocean itself.

So, what are you waiting for? Join us in Gdańsk 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!
