EUDIS Defence Hackathon
At the Prague Innovation Institute, in cooperation with the EU Defence Innovation Scheme, we are organizing the EUDIS Defence Hackathon from October 17–19, 2025. This isn’t just a technological challenge—the goal is to connect the civil and defense sectors and jointly seek innovative solutions that will help increase our security in the space and aerospace fields, not only here in the Czech Republic but throughout Europe. This year, the hackathon is also a part of Czech Space Week.
