The Sprint by DASH

3 days. Real challenges. Multidisciplinary teams. Mentors who push you further. From March 27th–29th 2026, the Sprint takes over VALO Hotel for three intense days of problem-solving, collaboration, and bold ideas. This is not a hackathon, it’s Finland’s largest design sprint, where thinking deeply, testing fast, and shaping meaningful solutions is the key. You’ll be placed in a small, multidisciplinary team and work on a real-world challenge set by one of our amazing challenge partners. The themes span culture, technology, finance, and health, so whether your background is in design, business, engineering, research, strategy, or something else entirely, there’s a challenge for you. And yes: the winning team from each challenge will take home a 1 000 € prize. So… do you think you’ve got what it takes? Apply and prove it. At a glance What? The Sprint 2026 Where?
