We are inviting hackers, engineers and business enthusiasts to join us on a 2-day tech-adventure. Let's build the future together!
26th + 27th | May | 2020 Online Event
Due to the current situation we decided to keep everyone safe and move the event 100% online.
Sign up & get ready for some cool action in the digital space.

Take up your chance and work on our challenges set by corporate innovators. While hacking you will be given hands-on support, the latest technology and all the goodies you need to win that challenge!
#PayAsYouDrive
Car insurance often seems way too expensive and
customers cannot do anything about the amount they pay, right? HUK-COBURG is challenging this model with
“Telematik Plus” which is a smart “pay-as-you-drive” solutions. Good driving behavior is rewarded with
discounts of up to 30% OFF the insurance fee. But how can you encourage customers to improve
their driving behavior?
Take on this challenge and develop a driving style analysis
based on real driving data and offer users the possibility to playfully bring their driving
values to the next level through gamification or similar approaches!

#AlwaysUpToDate
Relying on public transport is sometimes quite adventurous.
Will my bus be on time? Is my route under construction? Do I have to change to another line?
We’ve all been there. Especially when you are in a rush, immediate information is a must!
Unfortunately, most push-notifications about possible incidents or delays are still created by
human beings and therefore not always 100 % accurate or come fast enough.
Thanks to VAG’s line status, current traffic conditions will be analyzed and reported automatically
based on real-time information to send status updates to the customers. Help us create a top-notch
user experience by harmonizing the different alert types to make sure customers can differentiate
between the varying alerts and to increase the user acceptance of Line Status!

#DigitalLifeLine
You wake up at night, get out of bed and ...step into the water. Are you dreaming?
No. Water damage has haunted you. A thousand questions go through your head: Where does the water come from?
What has already been damaged? Can I somehow shut off the main water pipe? What do I have to do next?
What are the costs now? What does my insurance cover?
It shouldn't get that far. A digital lifeline could be the solution. A kind of device that is activated
as soon as it comes into contact with water. A sort of time alarm that allows you to act before the damage
occurs or act for you in case you’re not around.
Take on this challenge and help people prevent water damages!

#remotediagnosis
Our smartphone happens to be our daily companion.
Whether we use it privately or for our working life: the phone is always with us.
No wonder, it is now even able to do remote diagnosis for anything - for example
machines when they don’t work properly anymore.
Thanks to Schaeffler’s Condition Assistant App, customers are now capable of checking
machine errors with their smartphone by uploading sound files of the corresponding
machine. Unfortunately, the actual analysis, as well as the payment, are still
decentralized meaning experts and clients have to leave the app to finish their tasks.
Let’s fix it together! Help us create a better user experience of the app by fully
automating the processes mentioned above and the development of functionalities aiming
to create a simple and effective custom platform for any analysis for condition monitoring.

#Greentech
The CO2 concentration in our atmosphere has increased
to a historical height of 412ppm according to NASA.
Experts state that the world needs to reduce carbon
emissions by 50% by 2030 to limit global warming to 1.5C. Technology and digital solutions are
core-enablers for the transition to a carbon-neutral economy, but they might be hard to grasp and
can appear complicated. Let’s appeal to people’s “Sportsgeist” and bring them closer to digital technology.
Help us develop a gamification platform for villages and municipalities where citizens can compete on
sustainability and CO2 reduction and push their activities forward to real climate action!

#21stCenturyGov
The world is changing.
Organizations left and right struggle to morph into a digital organism. So is the public sector.
Problem is: change just keeps accelerating. Government is built for steady-state, not for rapid change.
This image, however, doesn’t do today‘s public servants justice.
Digital natives join and start to improve things but modernizers face many odds.
The formal processes and policies, the working culture and the outdated IT infrastructure tend to slow down productivity.
Safety measures regarding SARS-CoV-2 threw us into a remote work situation for which we were not prepared.
Collaboration got way more complicated. Viable solutions are in high demand and low supply.
Take the challenge and help bring remote collaboration into the 21st century!
Give public servants super-powers in the process by creating a toolbox full of instruments you'd actually want to use yourself.
Make sure they’re intuitive to use, build on open source & open standards and feel free to modify,
combine and stretch available solutions, so public servants can focus on doing their best work for society.

A very tech-focused coding event where coders, designers and business guys, within a certain time, work on challenges to create innovative solutions. At the end of the event the ideas, and ideally the protoypes will be pitched and judged by a jury.
The hackathon takes place exclusively online. We provide the appropriate tools so that you can stay in touch with your team and work on your solution online. Also mentors will support you remotely.
Everyone, who's interested in tech and innovative topics, is very welcome! No tech or business background needed - just a good amount of energy and willingness to learn and innovate. Also no experience in hackathons is needed (beginners are welcome!).
You will learn a lot while working in ambitious teams. It's fun - come hack with us!
The work (codes, data, documents, etc.) created by the teams during the hackathon will be of their own property. However, ideas presented to the public are freely accessible and usable.
You have to register and get a ticket via Eventbrite. After you’ve signed up you will get a link by mail. That link you have to use to attend the event.
In addition to an internet connection you should have a computer and other tools you need (e.g. camera, microfone, charger, mouse, USB drive, adapters).
You don't need a team in advance! You will be part of a team but most teams will form at the beginning of the hackathon.
The main language is German which means most of the talks will be held in German. Nevertheless, you are more than welcome to participate in the hackathon even if you don't speak German. Last years' experience: we had some non-German speaking teams and it went pretty well.
You will be tired, but very satisfied at the end. And you will get to know many interesting people ;-)
Prototypes should be developed during the hackathon. Coming with pre-made solutions is not the point of a hackathon ;)
