Hackathons
t:hub, the Technion’s center for entrepreneurship and innovation, offers the Technion community a wide range of hackathons and competitions in cutting-edge fields of science, technology, and development.
These hackathons present a unique opportunity for focused and intensive creation over a short period—a fertile ground for new ideas, surprising collaborations, and the formation of meaningful connections.
The events are held in collaboration with leading companies and initiatives from both Israeli and international industries, and their outcomes often gain exposure, prizes, and sometimes even further development and real-world launch.
