Join the Hackathon in Berlin!
Are you passionate about gaming, sports or travel? Have you ever wanted to build your own business? At the 10th CASSINI Hackathon, you’re invited to develop solutions or services made for consumers. Success stories start here…
Our participants get all the training and tools to utilise EU space data and reimagine the consumer experience. Over three days in Berlin, you’ll hear from our tech experts and professionals from the sports, gaming or tourism sectors. You’ll explore the data available from Copernicus, EGNOS and Galileo. Then you’ll connect with other professionals to form a multi-skilled team. Your challenge? Pick one:
#1 Immersive gameplay with space technology and data.
Can you use Galileo’s positioning data to enhance dynamic gameplay? Use satellite connectivity for real-time updates? Or 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.
Would you use satellite imagery and Galileo positioning to help travellers enjoy safer, sustainable trips? Develop a tool to help travel agents provide more personalised services? Or create an immersive app which allows people to explore from anywhere?

Who can participate?
⭐No space tech experience needed – Explore our online training library to learn about the types of space data that you’ll use.
⭐No team required – You can join as part of a group but if you’re an individual, you’ll be able to connect with other professionals to build a dream team.
⭐ You might not be a coder – Teams need creative and business people too! The Hackathon is open to everyone, at any stage in their career.
Local challenges
The best way to learn is by doing! And Berlin’s startup ecosystem thrives on that principle. With our partnering coding schools at your side, you’ll have access to skilled peers, expert mentors, and the tools you need to build something real.
Over three days, you won’t just talk about ideas. You’ll test them, shape them, and turn them into a convincing solution. Whether you’re a coder, designer, or creative thinker, you’ll find a team where your skills matter, your creativity is valued, and your entrepreneurial spirit can shine. By the end, you’ll have created your own software project – and a great portfolio case to show for it!
Prizes
During the Hackathon, teams receive the support they need to develop an idea, research the market, and design a compelling pitch. After 3 days, the judging panel picks 3 winning teams.
Local prizes will include:
