Join the Hackathon in Aarhus!
Are you ready to develop solutions to shape the future of health? The 9th CASSINI Hackathon provides training, mentoring, and inspiration to power your next project. Could you be part of Denmark's next space tech start-up? Big ideas start right here…
Join this event to hear from national experts in health and space technology. Watch our online training sessions and learn to use the data from Copernicus, EGNOS and Galileo. Bring or join a team, and develop a solution for one of three challenges:
- Monitoring disease outbreaks and health risks
- Enhancing smart emergency healthcare delivery
- Supporting mental health and well-being
Denmark is famous for innovation in healthcare – most notably Novo Nordisk. Could space technology supply the next health innovation? The government has recently launched the Danish Strategy for Space Research and Innovation (2025-35), advocating the use of space data to develop sustainable solutions. It could help us deliver predictive healthcare, optimised medical logistics and equitable care access.
To be inspired by local experts and network with international stakeholders and investors, join us between 16-18th May 2025.
