CASSINI Hackathon Lithuania 2026 is coming to Kaunas
On 27–29 November, Tech-Park Kaunas will host the 12th CASSINI Hackathon Lithuania – part of the international CASSINI Hackathon taking place simultaneously across multiple European countries.
This year's theme is EU Space for Peace and Resilience. Over three days in Kaunas, developers, engineers, AI, data, GIS and cybersecurity specialists, students, startup creators and other tech enthusiasts will team up to develop solutions for real-world security and societal resilience challenges.
And although we're talking about space technology, you won't need to build a rocket. ????️
The idea is to use European Union space data and technologies, including Copernicus Earth Observation data and Galileo satellite navigation capabilities, to solve very real problems here on Earth.
Three days to turn an idea into a solution
Throughout the hackathon weekend, participants will work in teams, develop their ideas, receive support from mentors and industry experts, take part in practical and international CASSINI sessions, and finally pitch their solutions to a jury.
You don't need to be a space expert to participate. We welcome developers, engineers, AI and data specialists, cybersecurity professionals, GIS experts, designers, entrepreneurs, students and anyone interested in applying their skills to build new technology-driven solutions.
Already have a team? Great.
Coming solo? Also great – we'll help participants connect and form teams before the hackathon.
