We, the Deputy Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Türkiye and Greece, are
pleased to pre-announce the upcoming Türkiye-Greece Hackathon 2024, an
event dedicated to fostering collaboration and innovation between our two
nations.
This significant initiative, co-organized by Bilişim Vadisi, the Technology
and Innovation Base of Türkiye, in coordination with the Ministry of
Industry and Technology of Türkiye, and the Athens Startup Business
Incubator (Th.E.A of the Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry), aims to
harness the creative energy of our brightest minds to develop solutions
that will have a lasting, positive impact on society.
The main sector on which our Hackathon will focus is Smart Cities. This
includes innovative solutions for enhancing urban living through
technology, tackling pressing environmental challenges, promoting
sustainability and improving safety and emergency response mechanisms.
We, therefore, invite high school and university students,
start-uppers and scientists from Türkiye and
Greece, between the ages of 16-35, to participate in this landmark event.
Young people, through synergies and coordinated efforts, have the power to
bridge cultures, innovate and provide solutions to facilitate the lives of
the citizens of both countries.
Participants will engage in a series of intensive brainstorming sessions,
workshops, and coding sprints, all while working in joint teams to address
pressing challenges.
Further details and registration information will be announced soon. We
look forward to your participation in this landmark event.
Together, we can innovate for a better and brighter future.
