​A first of it's kind hackathon for EDTH! We're partnering with the Marine Technology Center in Sweden to run a hackathon at a naval base!

• ​Demo your equipment to the Swedish Navy and FMV test and evaluation

• ​Get wrecked by the best British USVs - Kraken

• ​Collaborate with other defense tech companies to build full-scale naval defense

​Getting there

​It's not as complicated as it sounds. The easiest is to fly to Copenhagen (Kastrup) and then take a train. Or fly from Stockholm (Arlanda) to Ronneby. Or boat from Gdynia, PL, to Karlskrona directly!

​Visitors

​We'll have demos from Kraken, Nordic Air Defence, Saab, and more (tbc) on Thursday, where you will be invited to attend. If you'd like to demo something, please contact us!
