Learn about innovative SAP technologies, collaborate and co-innovate with fellow students. Expand your network by meeting other participants from dozens of countries. Get a crash course in Design Thinking and apply your knowledge by developing prototypes of solutions to real business cases e.g. relevant for the automotive branch and compete to win awesome prizes.

We will cover accommodation in a hostel from Monday (March 14) to Friday (March 18) as well as food throughout the whole Hackathon event and the CeBIT-ticket. You will have to pay for all other additional costs (e.g. travel). For travel within Germany a partial subsidy for travel by bus (Fernbus only) can be offered upon request.
