EDGE CASE – A Digital Infrastructure Hackathon
What if space were just another platform to build on?
Join us for EDGE CASE – A Digital Infrastructure Hackathon, a one-day innovation challenge bringing together students, developers, entrepreneurs, researchers and creative problem-solvers to explore the future of digital infrastructure in space.
As the space economy evolves, open and interconnected digital systems are creating new possibilities for how we develop applications, share capabilities and build services across different platforms. What new solutions could emerge if digital infrastructure in space became more open, interoperable and accessible? There are no predefined tracks, required technologies or fixed solutions. You bring the ideas and the vision.
Grand Prize: Trip to the Global Final in Japan
The winning team from the Swedish hackathon will advance to the international EDGE CASE final in Yokohama, Japan, on 3 February 2027.
Return flights and three nights of accommodation will be fully sponsored by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation.
