CASSINI European Commission Hackathon: using data from European space programmes
3. November, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 5. November, 2023 @ 6:00 pm
From November 3 to 5, we are organizing a 3-day CASSINI Hackathon of the European Commission at Tovarna podjemov in Maribor, where we will develop new solutions to support the development of more stable food chains, optimizing food production and technology-supported agriculture. The common point of the solutions will be the use of data from European space programs, which represent a veritable treasure trove of new added value and innovation possibilities.
The sixth international CASSINI Hackathon will be held in parallel in 11 European countries and will focus on finding innovative solutions for the sustainable progress of our society and on solutions for providing humanitarian aid. Ways of using data from European satellites will be explored for:
- better planning of critical infrastructure (e.g. for the provision of electricity, water and postal services, etc.),
- improving the safety of food production and supply and more efficient provision of drinking water, and
- predicting the causes of forced migration.
CASSINI Hackathon takes place in two rounds. The first round takes place in each country, where the organizers choose a national winner. Only this will then qualify for the European finals, which will take place online on November 9, 2023. At that time, the overall winner of the sixth CASSINI Hackathon will be selected.
NATIONAL LEVEL AWARDS:
- €3,000 cash prizes for the TOP 3 teams*,
- a special business development package of the Enterprise Factory for the winner,
- general support of the Enterprise Factory for business development of the company for the TOP 3 teams,
- startup tickets for the PODIM conference for the TOP 3 teams.
The organizers, together with the CASSINI Hackathon partners, are preparing even more attractive prizes, which we will announce on the fly.
AWARDS AT THE EUROPEAN LEVEL:
- +100 mentoring hours,
- consulting by leading European experts,
- presentation of the winning idea to the European community.
