ISE Hackathon

Innovation

An ISE first

As part of our increased focus on innovation, startups and entrepreneurship we are hosting the first ISE Hackathon at ISE 2025.

Over two days, teams of students will work together intensively at Fira de Barcelona to address three real-world challenges in the fields of sustainability, innovation and cybersecurity. They will work together with professionals from education and other industries.

How it works

In the run-up to the show, the students will undergo a pre-selection assessment to identify their unique perspectives and skill sets. Sixty elite students will be chosen to take part in the ISE Hackathon.

The Hackathon will begin at 08:00 on Thursday 6 February and work will be completed by midday on Friday 7 February. There will be a series of project presentations starting at 12:00 on the Pitching Stage in Congress Square, followed by an Awards Ceremony at 15:00 where the winning projects and teams will be announced.
