​Time to Accelerate the Energy Transition!

​​Join us and 100+ hackers from across Europe and beyond for the first Vienna Energy Hackathon, taking place in Vienna from February 13 to 15, 2026 ⚡️

​​Over three days, you’ll team up with developers, engineers, and energy professionals to tackle the toughest challenges facing the energy sector—from grid resilience and decentralized renewables to AI-powered forecasting and demand-side flexibility.

​​Whether you want to prototype new energy trading platforms, design scalable energy storage solutions, or build resilient tools for critical energy infrastructure, this is your space to experiment and execute.

​​Expect hands-on mentorship from leading energy startups, direct feedback from industry experts, and opportunities to turn your hack into a real-world pilot.

​​Meet potential co-founders, future collaborators, and investors who are ready to accelerate your ideas! This is your chance to shape the building blocks of tomorrow’s energy industry—and have fun while doing it 😎

​​Let’s build the future of energy together. See you in Vienna!
