You will be able to build working and innovative prototypes and demos. The 5GMETA Platform will be at your disposal to create new solutions that address the biggest challenges of tomorrow’s mobility.
An incredible venue – The ITS European Congress
Hackathon participants will be granted free entrance to the ITS European Congress, a unique occasion to enter into contact with the most influential actors of tomorrow’s mobility. Moreover, you will be able to promote your ideas and boost your activities by engaging with an unrepeatable network of experts.
The 15th ITS European Congress will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, from 22 May to 24 May 2023. The event will be hosted at the Lisbon Congress Centre. Lisbon is part of Europe’s entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystem and enjoys global recognition as a welcoming destination.
