HackZurich 2021

HackZurich 2021 has grown to one of the largest and most renowned hackathons in Europe within a short period of time. Being in the middle of Europe, close to world-leading universities, HackZurich is characterized by an extraordinarily high quality of participants and a variety of national and international partners. 

After pioneering with one of the first ever hybrid hackathons worldwide last year, we will again offer the possibility to either participate in-person or virtually from around the world. We guarantee a safe set-up and are convinced that live and in-person collaboration is more important than ever. Join us for an unforgettable experience!

HackZurich has also been the organizer of #CodeVsCOVID19.
