Interested in space technology? Learn how to utilise it and design a solution to make Europe safer and stronger. The 8th CASSINI Hackathon provides training, mentoring, and inspiration to build your own solution and – maybe – be involved in your own space startup. Big ideas start inside the Hackathon…
Registration is free, and anyone can join – no experience necessary. Come along (in person or virtually) to hear from national experts in business and space technology. Watch our training sessions and delve into the vault of EU space data from Copernicus, EGNOS and Galileo. Bring or join a team, and develop a solution for one of three challenges:
- Enhancing Defence & Security with Geospatial Intelligence

- Orbital Security: Navigating the Collision Frontier
We’re seeking innovators passionate about building solutions for a safer Europe. No space experience needed—just choose a challenge, use EU space tech, and compete for cash prizes up to 9,000€ (1st: 5,000€, 2nd: 3,000€, 3rd: 1,000€) plus 6 months of mentoring. Be sure to review the Rules of Contest before applying.
