• Media Reach: Strategic exposure through social media campaigns and targeted press coverage.

By participating, you will engage with a diverse ecosystem of talent and expertise, including:

• Academic Talent: Students and researchers, primarily from leading STEM fields.
• Industry Leaders: Representatives from energy providers, startups, public agencies, and tech companies.
• Innovation Drivers: Professionals specializing in IT, sustainability, and digital transformation.

The Hackdays typically take place over two intensive days. Your involvement is key to the participants' success, and our team will be there to guide you through every step:

• Day 1 | Kickoff: You will present your challenge to the participants, sparking interest and setting the stage for innovation.
• Development Phase: During the hacking sessions, you’ll act as a subject matter expert, supporting your team and clarifying questions as they build their solutions.
• Day 2 | The Finale: You will attend the final project presentations to see the results of the teams' hard work and celebrate their achievements.

As a Challenge Owner, you provide the spark for innovation by submitting a real-world question or problem for our teams to solve. Your involvement is straightforward but impactful:

• The Pitch: Provide a concise description of your challenge to inspire the participants.
• The Collaboration: Act as the primary point of contact during the event, offering your domain and technical expertise to guide the development process.

Absolutely! Many of our partners come from the public or academic sector. We’re happy to support you in crafting a challenge or integrating your institution into the event.

The challenges and their results are freely accessible and will be published and archived on this website 
They will be made available to interested parties (universities, engineering offices, developers, challenge owners, participants in the hackdays) for further use.
