Organised by Docler Holding in collaboration with ITOne, the 1st Hackathon Made in Luxembourg is being held from 8 - 10 April 2016 at the Forum Geesseknappchen in Luxembourg-Merl; registrations have now opened.
In order to support the Luxembourgish ICT ecosystem, attract new talents and position Luxembourg as a tech hub in Europe, this Hackathon is expected to attract more than 300 developers and designers from all over Europe and have them compete as well as participate in other side activities.
The game is simple: 24 hours of coding based on web development will see the best European developers go head-to-head. The challenge, designed by Docler Holding, will be a skill-test where developers and designers will be asked to create an original application, a game or anything that can fit inside a web browser.
The best coding team from Luxembourg will also be revealed at the end of this event after a pitching session on Sunday 10 April.
Organised in teams of 3-4, the IT talents will also have the opportunity to meet industry professionals in order to discuss their future ambitions and meet potential employers. “This competition is a way to answer the ongoing issue of attracting new ICT talents and an opportunity to show talents from all over Europe the main advantages Luxembourg can offer. We also invite all the developers from companies in Luxembourg to take part in this competition”, said Kamel Amroune, Partner of ITOne. He added “Having fun, relaxing, learning and networking are the main objectives of this event”.
