Join 100+ hackers from all across Europe and beyond for the European Defense Tech Hackathon on August 28-30, 2026, in Hamburg.
The event wants to bridge the gaps between technologists, the public sector, investors, and operators in dual-use and defense technology. This hackathon will demonstrate the talent and drive of the European ecosystem.
Get inspired by the challenges that are already prepared, or feel free to bring your own project. You'll get feedback from folks who have been on the frontline to ensure you're solving real problems.
The goal with the hackathon is to put you in a position to continue towards deployment.
