What is the International Student Hackathon?
Building on the success of the 2025 Hackathon, this year’s edition brings together international student teams to tackle real-world industry challenges. Participants collaborate across disciplines, combining logistics, IT, telematics, and engineering expertise to develop innovative solutions.
