European Defense Tech Hackathon
From Europoor to Eurocore - Let's accelerate!
This summer will be the kick-off event for the innovators at the intersection of deep tech and dual-use in Europe, starting with an inaugural hackathon on the 28th-30th of June 2024, as a satellite event to the Festival of the Future in Munich. Let’s accelerate Europe!
Goal
We want to bridge the gaps between technologists, public sector, investors and operators in dual use and defense technology. To do this we're starting with a hackathon to demonstrate the talent and drive of the European ecosystem.
Problems and direct feedback will be provided from agencies and people from the frontlines. After the hackathon is ended, ideally projects will have the support to continue towards deployment.
Frame
This will be an in-person hackathon. Virtual participation is not encouraged.
We’re working with the best partners in the space:
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine
Cyber Innovation Hub
D3 directly from Kyiv
University of the Federal Army
Tytan Technologies
General Catalyst
Lambda Automata
DefSecIntel
TUM Venture Labs
During the hackathon, you'll have the possibility prototype and validate ideas around defensive and life-preserving technology, and electronic warfare (controlling the information environment, cyber-defense).
The hackathon is the first step of a larger movement of getting the best minds to work on the most urgent problems of our time. In Europe.
