With the Ocean Re-CREATION Challenge 2021, TransMarTech has established the first national hackathon on the subject of coastal and marine protection. During a hackathon (creation of the word “hack” and “marathon”), software and hardware prototypes as well as conceptual project ideas are developed within the duration of the event.

Participants from science, research and business worked interdisciplinary on specific tasks for five days and were actively supported by mentors. During the PITCH Night, the teams presented their results to an expert jury.
