THack4Guimarães 2035 | What if you had 5 days to solve a problem that your city still doesn’t know how to solve?

hat’s the question behind Hack4Guimarães 2035, which takes place as part of Economy Month.

This is not a theoretical exercise; it is a real challenge, with €20,000 in prizes at stake, proposed by companies in the region, in the areas of Aerospace, Protection and Defense, Smart Technologies, and Sustainability.

You join a team (or we help you find one), you build, you test, you present. In the end, you don’t just leave with an idea: you leave with a prototype that can continue to exist after the hackathon.

You don’t need a resume to participate. You need curiosity.
