For the fourth time, Docler Holding will join the organisation of the biggest Greater Region hackathon, Game of Code, in cooperation with Digital Luxembourg, SES and GovSat; this coding competition brings together teams from Luxembourgish companies and Greater Region schools.

The 24-hour challenge will take place at the Forum Geesseknäppchen in Luxembourg-Merl from 8 - 9 March 2019.

Teams choosing Docler’s challenge will need to create their own game. Participants will pick three words from the Docler jar of secrets; these words must be in some way included in the creation. The winning teams will be awarded €10,000 for 1st place, €5,000 for 2nd place and €2,000 for 3rd place. A team can be made of up to four people.
“We have always believed that coding rimes with entertaining, so launching a challenge on gaming was natural for us. As an IT company, development is deeply rooted in our DNA, and we want to give the opportunity to promising teams to earn great prizes, which will perhaps start new projects,” stated Marton Fülöp, CIO of Docler Holding.

Docler Holding relies on its pool of experts and epic jury to choose the boldest and best projects:

- Larissa Best, CEO - Equilibre Luxembourg
- Serge Linckels, Directeur Adjoint à la formation professionnelle - Ministère de l'Education nationale, de l'enfance et de la jeunesse
- Xavier Buck, Co-founder & Chairman – EuroDNS
- Kolos Kaszaly, Chief Technology Officer - Docler Holding

New this year: GovSat and SES will join the iconic hackathon, contributing challenges related to information security for satellite communications and space technologies. Digital Luxembourg and the Bibliothèque Nationale de Luxembourg have created a common challenge were participants will have to take raw data and build new applications and tools aimed at exploring, understanding, analysing or enriching history.
