BAD1 Hackathon

BAD1 Hackathon
Ready to build solutions for Berlin's startup ecosystem? Join us for a full day of hacking, building, and collaborating at the BAD1 Hackathon where founders, engineers, designers, and ecosystem operators come together to turn real problems into real solutions.
BAD1 is a grassroots movement with one mission: making Berlin the best place in Europe to build and scale a company. In just a few months, 800+ founders and ecosystem players have contributed to the movement, submitted 80+ ideas.

On April 29th, 60 experts gathered for the BAD1 Ideation Workshop to define the 5 priority problems holding Berlin's ecosystem back.
Now it's time to build actionable solutions.
This hackathon is the next phase of BAD1. Five tracks, five real problems, one day to prototype solutions that could shape how Berlin's ecosystem works. The best concepts will pitch at a dedicated event and get free tickets for the BAD1 conference on June 12th
Limited to 100 participants: secure your spot now!
On the day of the event, it is first come, first serve!
