Tech skills for climate action

Join us for a dynamic one‑day hackathon dedicated to spotlighting the environmental footprint of technology and accelerating green‑tech innovation. Over 8 intensive hours, developers, designers, sustainability experts, and curious technologists will collaborate to prototype solutions that reduce e‑waste, cut energy consumption, and embed circular‑economy principles into everyday digital products. Through hands‑on challenges and rapid networking, participants will not only raise awareness of tech's climate impact but also forge lasting connections across the green‑tech community, turning ideas into actionable, eco‑friendly prototypes by the end of the day.

Challenge themes:

• Generative AI
• Smart homes
• Circularity & eWaste
