Time to Accelerate European Defense Innovation 🚀
Two years later, we're coming back to where everything began for EDTH—same weekend, same place, same energy!
Join us and 200+ hackers from all across Europe and beyond for the European Defense Tech Hackathon on June 26-28, 2026, in Munich, Germany.
Or join us that weekend in London—same hackathon, two locations; we'll be live-streaming between the two: https://luma.com/edth-2026-summer-london

Goal
We want 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 we have 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.
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.
