Hackathon for tech enthusiasts

About Borås Tech Challenge

Borås Tech Challenge

Borås Tech Challenge is a hackathon where tech-interested students and professionals in the Borås region meet and compete for a day. Each year, a new hot topic is set and teams compete to find the best and most innovative solution.

From idea to prototype in 24 hours

Each team has 24 hours to come up with an idea, program it, and get it ready enough to present the solution to the jury in three minutes. All the teams are gathered in a computer room at the university. Intensive, educational, and fun. Some work all day and night, while others go home for a few hours to get some rest.

 

Solutions to real problems

The competition is carried out in teams with the ambition to create new digital services and products on different themes. This allows teams to create useful solutions to real problems and win prizes.
