Code Green: Climate Tech Hackathon at ESMT Berlin

​Most hackathons keep tech people and business people in separate bubbles. This one doesn’t.

​Code Green brings developers, data scientists, and engineers together with business and strategy minds into mixed teams, because climate solutions that stay in a Jupyter notebook don’t help anyone.

​On Friday evening, you’ll receive a real sustainability challenge affecting Berlin. By Saturday night, your team will pitch your solution to a panel of experts.

​Schedule:
📅 Friday, Feb 20 — Challenge reveal + team matchmaking
📅 Saturday, Feb 21 — Full-day hackathon, mentoring, and final pitches

​📍 ESMT Berlin, Schlossplatz 1 — in the historic Staatsratsgebäude in the heart of Berlin

​We’ll provide food throughout Saturday, hands-on mentoring, and a cash prize for the winning team.

​Who should join:
Tech: developers, data scientists, engineers, CS students and recent grads
Business: strategy, entrepreneurship, MBA students, and recent grads

​Code Green is built for people at the start of their climate careers — whether you're a student, recent grad, early-career professional, researcher thinking to pivot into enterpreneurship, or mid-career pivoter, or just curious about climate tech. The hackathon format is fast-paced and hands-on, designed for peer collaboration at similar career stages.

​You can join solo or with a team — matchmaking on Friday will help you find the right collaborators.

​Spots are limited, and we’re close to capacity.
