Ocean Hackathon® is a non-stop, 48-hour event where teams develop prototypes and explore their practical applications using marine data. Several months before the event, a call for challenges is issued to gather project proposals from participating towns and cities. The event culminates in a weekend where teams compete, and the top team from each location advances to the International Grand Finale in Brest, France. Winners have the chance to receive prizes sponsored by our Ocean Hackathon® Ambassadors.
Since its inception in 2016 in Brest, Ocean Hackathon® has fostered a growing community about ocean conservation and digital innovation. In 2019, the event expanded to additional locations across France and internationally.
Ocean Hackathon® is an initiative led by Campus mondial de la mer that promotes collaboration, the adoption of new digital technologies, and an entrepreneurial mindset. The projects developed aim to optimize the utilisation of marine and maritime data, often through innovative reinterpretations. Data providers actively support the event by improving data accessibility and understanding, and they engage in mentoring participants throughout the process.
