Sustainable Cities of the Future Hackathon

About the Competition

The “Sustainable Cities of the Future Hackathon” is being organized as part of the TEKNOFEST Technology Competitions.
The aim of this competition is to encourage the development of innovative digital solutions that will make city life smarter, more sustainable, and more livable. Participants are expected to develop projects that will produce solutions in areas such as post-disaster management, environmental data analysis, and sustainable urbanism.

The competition consists of five sub-themes within the framework of the main theme. Participants are expected to develop web-based software solutions based on one or more of these sub-themes. The projects to be developed are expected to offer technology-based, scalable, and community-focused approaches that shape the future of cities.

The competition is open to Turkish citizens studying in the Republic of Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, as well as foreign students enrolled in universities (associate's, bachelor's, master's, doctoral, and open education programs). Teams must consist of at least 2 and no more than 4 people.
