HACKATON FOR THE SWEDISH DEFENSE

October 8, 2025

Calling all problem-solvers, hackers, and programmers!

The Swedish Armed Forces, the 7th mechanized brigade, South Skåne regiment to be specific, need your help. They need to strengthen their ability to exploit the full potential of technology to stay one step ahead on the battlefield of the future.

The setting:
Imagine that Sweden has been attacked. The old command system has crashed, maybe even been sabotaged.

What is left:
Fragments of knowledge, a brigade in need, and you.

Your mission:
Turn disorder into order. Help build plugins. Write code and create services. Hack solutions where there are none. You will address a classic “warfighting function”: Command & Control (C2): “How to plan, lead, and sync operations in real time?”

The tool at hand?
A raw, unfinished civilian version of a military command system. It is not perfect, but it is what we have.
This is not just theory. The Swedish Armed Forces are looking for real solutions to deploy.

This is code as defense, programming as survival. Every line you write is a step toward making Sweden stronger.

Ready to join the frontline?
What: Hackaton
📍 Where: at the Tech Hub, Ideon Science Park.
📅 When: October 21, 08:30 – 21:00. Food, fika etc is included.

The winning team will be awarded and recognized. And above all; your solutions will be needed
