Aerospace Valley is bringing the second edition of the Copernicus Hackathon – Climathon to Bordeaux, Montpellier and Toulouse on the 25th and 26th of October . This event aims at fighting climate change with innovative solutions using satellite data, and is a clever mix between:
- – The Climathon, focusing on Climate change and supported by Climate-KIC as part of the global event (104 cities, 45 countries)

The Copernicus Hackathon & Climathon Challenges
Come and solve the climate challenges faced by the cities of Bordeaux, Montpellier and Toulouse with Copernicus space data and tools! Join us to 24 hous-experiment of pure creativity inspired by our climate and space experts.
Do I need an idea? Just your inspiration is required! You can also join others with an idea.
What if I have an idea? That’s a good start and you will develop your idea further with experts’ advice and other team members.
Be clear on one point: the demonstration of your solution needs to be based on a software program which is developed “from scratch” so don’t work too much on your idea before the event! Just keep in mind the expected output should go beyond mere concept presentations.
