This hackathon will demonstrate the talent and drive of the European ecosystem. ​​​Get inspired by the challenges we have prepared, or feel free to bring your own project. You'll get feedback from military personnel with hands-on experience in defense operations to ensure you're solving real problems. ​​Our goal with the hackathon is to put you in a position to continue towards deployment. ​​Visitors ​​If you’re curious about the outcomes and what the teams have built, you can join the Demo Day on Sunday as an EDTH Community visitor by selecting a Community Visitor ticket.
