​Time to Accelerate European Defense Innovation 🚀

​Join us and 100+ hackers from all across Europe and beyond for the European Defense Tech Hackathon on June 19-21, 2026, in Warsaw, Poland.

​We're thrilled to co-organize this hackathon together with the Polish Development Fund (PFR), supporting the development of innovative technological solutions in Poland.

​PFR offers instruments for the development of enterprises, local government units, and private individuals, investing in sustainable social development and economic growth of the country. One of PFR's projects is the IDA, which supports innovative entities in developing dual-use technologies.

​Goal

​We want to bridge the gaps between technologists, the public sector, investors, and operators in dual-use and defense technology. This hackathon will demonstrate the talent and drive of the European ecosystem.

​Get inspired by the challenges we have prepared, or feel free to bring your own project. You'll get feedback from folks who have been on the frontline to ensure you're solving real problems.

​Our goal with the hackathon is to put you in a position to continue towards deployment.
