Hack the Connected City of the Future

How would you use digital technology to make city centres more vibrant, connected and resilient? Join Hack the Connected City of the Future on Tuesday 29 September at Connect-U in Enschede. Team up with students from different disciplines, turn your ideas into a concept or prototype and compete for prizes of up to €1,500.

During this one-day hackathon, you will explore how data, digital infrastructure and AI can help people discover places, meet others and feel more connected to their city.

Work in a multidisciplinary team of up to five students and turn your ideas into something tangible.
