Join the 10th CASSINI Hackathon in Brussels!
Passionate about gaming, sports, or travel?
Do you have an idea that could change how people experience them?
Join the 10th CASSINI Hackathon! You’ll spend 3 days in Brussels building solutions for consumers using EU space data.
No coding background? No team yet? No problem. You’ll get all the training and tools to reimagine the consumer experience based on EU space data from Copernicus, EGNOS and GALILEO. You’ll hear from experts in retail, gaming and travel. You’ll connect with other professionals to form a multi-skilled team.
Did it spark your curiosity? Ready to take on one of the challenges? Pick one:
#1 Immersive gameplay with space technology and data.
Can Galileo’s positioning data enhance dynamic gameplay? Use satellite connectivity for real-time updates? Or can you create your own core gameplay mechanics to integrate real resource management data?
#2 Space-powered performance - transforming sports.
Could you use GNSS to improve athletes’ analytics? Create training plans which are adaptable to the weather and terrain? Or develop an immersive app for fans to feel like they’re running with their favourite players?
#3 Beyond horizons: redefining travel with space innovation.
Can satellite imagery and Galileo positioning help travellers enjoy safer, sustainable trips? Build a tool for travel agents to make their service more personalised? Or create an immersive app which allows people to explore from anywhere?

Big local opportunities
Space technology has become an important part of the Belgian economy; in April 2025, a new ESA BIC opened to support space start-ups with expertise and networking.
All three challenges in the Hackathon will be relevant to our local participants. But did you know that Belgians spent €4 billion on travel packages in 2024? Space-powered solutions in sustainable and immersive travel could meet high demand.
