hack for peace

21-23 October

The unprovoked russian aggression against the peaceful country of Ukraine shows that today no one should feel safe. That is why, today, businesses are creating and updating their contingency plans, and governments are seeking ways to be well prepared for such threats.

Tech products and innovative solutions can help solve the problems associated with the war.

Hack for Peace is a great chance for those who want to make an impact and contribute to the creation of anti-war tech products

We invite developers, startup founders, project managers, designers, investors and mentors to participate in a cross-European hackathon ‘Hack for Peace’.
We are looking for tech products and innovative solutions that can help solve the problems associated with the risks of war.
