NOI Hackathon Summer Edition

About

NOI Hackathon Summer Edition

NOI Hackathon Summer Edition is a 24-hour event that brings together creatives and developers to conceive new ideas and projects.

24 hours of hacking, collaborating, co-creating, and developing for (currently secret) topics that will be revealed at the start of the Hackathon. The themes will focus on sustainability, thanks to the support of Stiftung Südtiroler Sparkasse.

Generate new ideas alone or in a team. This one is for creative people, creators, developers, designers, data experts, entrepreneurs, tech geeks, coding lovers… of any level and with any background – just get involved!

And, yes, we have prizes for our winners but the aim of the event is to inspire, so if you are on the fence about a career in tech, get involved and give it a go.
