Largest hybrid hackathon worldwide

In 2020, we successfully launched the hybrid Hackathon concept and have not only taken a pioneering role, but also gained valuable experience. HackZurich, our partners and the project output of HackZurich has increased. Highly qualified participants can be part of HackZurich who otherwise could not be there because of travel costs or entry regulations. By reducing the amount of travel we take care of the environment.
