HACKATHON

Hackathons drive innovations and solutions to business problems and social issues
Startup TN Networking Banner

A hackathon is typically a time-bound competitive event where participants collaborate in teams to build proofs of concept or minimum viable products for a specific pre-defined problem. It is a time bound event in which teams made up of both technical and business knowledge get together to collaborate intensively on projects.

The aim is to design, build and present a most innovative solution to a problem, and then pitch a final concept, prototype or presentation to the jury.
