The DeepScience Hackathon, organized by the Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia (ISSP UL), will be the second Hackathon in Latvia of that kind. We will identify the strongest material-based high technology ideas with the potential for innovations, that will take a permanent place in the environment of new enterprises of Baltics. For three days, participants will create interdisciplinary teams and develop ideas with a help of mentors. At the end of the event, they will present their ideas to a jury, investors and stakeholders. During the event, participants will also be able to learn more about the new enterprise ecosystem, business model canvas, presentation and investor-pitch preparation.
We expect participants with completely new ideas as well as participants that have reached the prototype stage. We also look forward to welcome participants from companies with existing products that would benefit from further development with the help of advanced technology. If you do not have an own idea, you will have the opportunity to join one of the teams with your expertise (physics, materials science, chemistry, business development, design, engineering, programming, marketing, etc.).
We are looking forward to ideas from the following areas:
- Smart materials
- Sensors and actuators
- Coatings and thin films
- Photonics
- Micro / nano electronics
- Energetics
