🚨 Virtual Demo Day and Just Three Weeks Before Our Next Hackathon
Fostering Defense Innovation for European Sovereignty

Join Our Virtual Demo Day Tomorrow
​What happened after our first defense tech hackathon? Sign up for our virtual demo day on October 30 to find out:
In June this year, we organized Europe’s largest defense tech hackathon for the first time in Munich, gathering 100+ hackers from all around Europe and overseas.
​Out of the 34 hackathon projects, several startups were newly founded or propelled forward – many of them will present at the demo day. Learn more about what they have developed since then, and ask questions!
We also published a blog post about the key themes and projects of this first hackathon.
Second European Defense Tech Hackathon
In less than three weeks, our next defense tech hackathon in Copenhagen will take place, and two weeks later will be the one in Paris.
We’re thrilled to be partnering again with Helsing, not just for these two hackathons but also for the long term.
Helsing was one of our earliest backers for our first hackathon back in Munich this past June. Now, we're thrilled that they're our first long-term supporter, helping us bring even more hackathons to life!
Also, we're very excited to be partnering again with General Catalyst, Entrepreneur First, Inflection.xyz, DefSecIntel, and Delian Alliance Industries, as well as the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, the Defense Innovation Highway, and BRAVE1, who have already supported us for our first hackathon back in June.
And we're excited to welcome Comand AI, SE3 Labs, PSV, and the Export and Investment Fund of Denmark as new partners and sponsors.
Their backing is vital for us to organize these events and thereby bring more innovators into defense tech – if you would like to support us as well and be added to this roster, please get in touch by replying to this e-mail.
And please sign up below if you would like to participate in either or both of the hackathons:
More Meetups
Finally, we’ll be hosting two more meetups this November:
We’re coming back to Munich to have an informal meetup with our key partner Helsing on November 5:
And Quantum Systems will host our third Berlin meetup on November 7, which will be a perfect opportunity to connect and collaborate with key players in the defense tech ecosystem:
