The theme of the hackathon is the dual use of everyday devices and applications, i.e. their use in both civilian and national defence applications. We want to challenge teams to further develop existing civilian technologies to also meet the needs of the defence sector. By doing so, we aim to promote innovative solutions that bridge the gap between military and civilian applications and to create versatile technologies that can benefit a wide range of scenarios.
