How It Works
HackTM runs across 6 days and combines remote work, coworking collaboration, and a final in-person event, with on-site mentoring.
Participants form teams, build prototypes, and prepare a final pitch for the jury.
- Kick-off event
- Team formation
- Start of development
- Teams continue building from coworking spaces or remotely.
- Final development
- Project presentations
- Awards
The goal is simple:
Create a working solution and explain why it deserves to exist.
Throughout the week, participants can also attend 3 thematic events focused on AI, startups, and security.
What You Can Build
Projects can compete across multiple categories.
- Artificial Intelligence
- Startup Innovation
- Social Impact Solutions
- Security & Defense Technologies
- Open Innovation Challenges
Each project is evaluated for technical execution, innovation, feasibility, and clarity of presentation.
What The Jury Looks For
Every project is evaluated using a common set of criteria.
How well the solution works and how it was built.
How original and creative the approach is.
Whether the idea can realistically grow beyond the hackathon.
How clearly the team explains the problem and the solution.
Good ideas are appreciated. Working solutions receive the prizes.
