🔥 Get the Vibe before the Hack begins
Be there when it all begins. The Opening Night of the GenQ Hackathon is your chance to soak up the energy of the ultimate hackathon before the action unfolds. As brilliant minds in Quantum Tech, AI, and Deep Tech gather to tackle real-world challenges, the stage is set for bold innovation.
Watch as the challenges are revealed, teams form, and mentors step in: It’s the spark before the sprint.
As part of the Global Hackathon Series powered by QAI Ventures, this event brings together students, researchers, and early-stage founders to kick off a weekend of collaborative innovation aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals - working at the intersection of industry verticals in Energy, Life Sciences, and Finance.
The hackathon is hosted in collaboration with The Open Quantum Institute at CERN, during Swiss Quantum Week.
