At WMF, we want to promote innovative events that equip our attendees with knowledge and skills to face today’s most prominent technological challenges. This is the reason why, for a few years now, the Festival has been organising Hackathons, both in presence and in hybrid format. These are real competitions in which participants can take part, both individually and in teams, with a range of different professional profiles to create ideas and projects dedicated to a specific theme.
Each year, we encourage companies to realize their Hackathon with us. The event is a great opportunity for the participant organisations: during the competition, a team of computer experts and programmers will work together to tackle their specific business problem.
Is your company looking for groundbreaking ideas and innovative solutions for digital challenges? Take advantage of our skilled teams and expertise! Fill in the form below, choose a theme and organise your Hackathon with us, in Rimini or Online!
