The European Defense Tech Hackathon (EDTH) is a 48-hour innovation event that brings together 120+ participants from across Europe to develop solutions in the field of defense and dual-use technologies. The hackathon aims to connect technologists, public sector stakeholders, investors, and operators to accelerate innovation and support real-world deployment of emerging technologies.

Participants work in multidisciplinary teams to tackle predefined challenges or develop their own ideas, supported by experienced mentors from the defense and tech ecosystem. The event concludes with a Demo Day, where teams present their solutions to judges, investors, and the broader community.
