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 (usually 48 hours) where people meet to solve challenges together. The problems are presented by companies or institutions at the start of the event. You have the chance to spend a weekend with a team developing ideas for a real problem and turning them into a working prototype.

Everyone is welcome to join BaselHack! While most participants are programmers – whether professionals or students - we also need people with skills in project management, design (ux / ui, illustration), and confident idea pitching. If this sounds interesting to you, this hackathon is for you! 🙂 Even if you're attending just to learn and be inspired by the energy, we'd love to have you.

Our hackathon is a great opportunity to network with like-minded people and meet exciting companies. You'll have the possibility to experiment, being close to new technologies, experience collaborative teamwork, and benefit from top mentoring. You also have the chance to win attractive award prize money!
