BaselHack is the hackathon for Basel, Northwestern Switzerland and bordering Alsace and Südbaden. Young and young-at-heart developers, technology fanatics, designers and others meet for a weekend tinkering and developing various ideas. Join us for a weekend full of fun, challenges, for meeting new friends and to enjoy free drinks & foods.

A hackathon is a multi-day event (typically 48 hours) where people come together to tackle technical challenges. Sponsoring companies or other hackers present their problems at the start, and asigned teams spend the weekend brainstorming, designing, and building prototypes to solve them. It’s an intensive, creative, and fun way to turn ideas into something real.

Everyone is welcome at BaselHack! While many participants are developers — both students and professionals — we also need people with skills in project management, UX/UI design, illustration, communication, and pitching ideas. If any of that sounds like you, you’ll fit right in. Even if you’re joining mainly to learn or soak up the energy, we’d love to have you!

Our hackathon is a fantastic chance to meet new people, connect with inspiring companies, and explore new technologies. You’ll collaborate in a fast-paced environment, gain hands-on experience, learn from mentors, and stretch your creativity. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to win some great prize money! And at BaselHack this is all for free!
