Quelle: Copernicus

The winning team will get a seat in the Copernicus Accellerator and the Venture Academy from Plnt!, 500 EURO Cash and six months startup tax management (valued at €600) by Zuits.
Everyone above 18 and resident of one the following countries (EU Member States + Norway and Iceland).
Why not :) hackathons are the perfect way to meet inspiring people, get brilliant ideas and learn useful skills. Additionally, hackathons usually lead to the creation of at least one serious business idea that gets developed into an actual startup.
Participation is free of charge.
Our hackathon participants are generally enthusiastic, well-educated, tech savvy students and (young) professionals with a passion for space and innovation. But you don’t have to be a computer programmer or a rocket scientist to enjoy the adventure. In our experience, the teams that consist of participants with the most diverse backgrounds usually create the best solutions. In fact, designers and artists are often the most sought-after people in the team-building phase.
You can join alone, we will do the matchmaking or sign up as team ( Ideal teams have 4-5 members with a mix of relevant skills ).
The expected output will be a presentation ( don't worry, we will also provide pitch training ) and a demonstration of your app.
Don't worry, enough inspiration at the event to come up with an idea. Or you can always join others with an idea.
Great! We will support you to develop your idea further and to find teammembers. One note: The app needs to based on a software programme which is developed "from scratch" so don't work to much on your idea.
You will own the intellectual property rights to all the developments you have made during the Copernicus Hackathon. Ownership of the teams' output shall be with the teams' Participants, who will jointly own the app concepts / draft developments.
Discover the potential of Earth Observation data and challenge your entrepreneurial self!
