IEC Tehnopolis
Hackathons

In the previous period, Innovation and entrepreneurship center Tehnopolis successfully implemented 4 hackathons with partners aiming to integrate information technologies and innovative solutions in various fields. These events represented a platform for solving concrete problems, bringing about significant positive changes in the social community.

VIRAL hackathon

VIRAL hackathon, organized as part of the VIRAL project, aimed to bring together agriculture and information technologies to create sustainable solutions for the challenges faced by agricultural enterprises. This event was not only aimed at solving specific problems in agriculture but became a catalyst for strengthening cooperation between the faculty, students, and the business sector. Apart from solving the specific problems of farmers, the hackathon had wider social benefits, promoting multidisciplinary cooperation of students from different fields.

Hackathon EKOjeSISTEM

Organized in cooperation with the Faculty of Architecture, the hackathon marked Faculty Day and the thirtieth anniversary of the declaration of Montenegro as an ecological state. Through the design and production of souvenirs, using modern technologies such as 3D printing, the students of the Faculty of Architecture contributed to the promotion of ecological values and highlighted the role of innovation in creating a more sustainable future.

By organizing the hackathons, we had the opportunity to support 28 teams with over 100 participants, which made these events not only platforms for solving specific problems but also for building a common innovative spirit. The impact we achieved is reflected both in the solutions that have been created and in the strengthening of connections between young talents, industry, and the local community. Also, hackathons have shown that innovation has the power to transform ideas into reality and contribute to the sustainable development of society.
