Join the Hackathon in Vantaa!
Are you ready to develop solutions to shape the future of health? The 9th CASSINI Hackathon provides training, mentoring, and inspiration to power your next project. Could you be part of Finland’s next space tech start-up? Big ideas start right here…
Join this event to hear from national experts in health and space technology. Watch our online training sessions and learn to use the data from Copernicus, EGNOS and Galileo. Bring or join a team, and develop a solution for one of three challenges:
- Monitoring disease outbreaks and health risks
- Enhancing smart emergency healthcare delivery
- Supporting mental health and well-being
A member of the ESA for 30 years, Finland’s space sector is already thriving: 70+ companies generate an annual turnover of €4 billion and employ 13,000 people. Our government’s commitment to integrating space technology with the business ecosystem is outlined in the newly published Space Strategy.
The challenges in this Hackathon – covering remote healthcare, diagnostics, and public health monitoring – align closely with national priorities, creating opportunities for business growth.
To learn more from local experts and network with peers, stakeholders and investors, join us between 16-18th May 2025.
