Are you ready to develop solutions to shape the future of health? The 9th CASSINI Hackathon is hosted in Romania by the Institute for Excellence in Entrepreneurship (idEA) – a leading organization fostering innovation and startups in Romania since 2019.
This hybrid event provides training, mentoring, and inspiration to power your next big idea. Whether you’re a student, developer, researcher or entrepreneur, you’ll have the chance to build impactful health-tech solutions using space data and AI. Could you be part of Romania’s next space-tech startup? Big ideas start here.
- Monitoring disease outbreaks and health risks
- Enhancing smart emergency healthcare delivery
- Supporting mental health and well-being
In Romania we have a space sector which generates €400 million annually, and interest in space technology is growing. At this Hackathon, we will explore the potential applications of EU space data to benefit our national healthcare system.
Local challenges include monitoring health, disease outbreaks and environmental hazards, especially in isolated communities, as well as emergency service delivery and vaccination programmes.
To be inspired by local experts and network with international stakeholders and investors, join us between 16-18th May 2025.
