What is a Hackathon?

Hacking + Marathon = Hackathon

A hackathon is an intensive competition where teams rapidly develop innovative solutions to a challenge, improve existing processes, or align with a set theme. Typically lasting around 24 hours, the event culminates in a presentation showcasing their final project.

Build connections and create new ideas

Innovation: In daily work, goals and timelines are typically set by leadership, leaving little room for exploration. Hackathons break this routine, providing a space to think creatively and develop fresh solutions to key challenges.

Collaboration: Hackathons bring together individuals from different teams who may not normally work together. This diversity of thought fosters creativity, strengthens networks, and encourages cross-functional teamwork.
