Hackathon@PMRExpo powered by Corevas

Creative minds are meeting up again at PMRExpo from 25 to 27 November 2025 to jointly rethink communications in crisis situations in the scope of the Hackathon@PMRExpo.

After the success of the past years, we are once again offering you as an exhibitor the opportunity to actively take part in this forward-looking format as a supporter.

What is it about?

In a 48-hour design and coding marathon, interdisciplinary teams develop practical, AI-supported solutions of high social relevance. The aim is to selectively strengthen crisis management, make decision-taking processes more efficient and decisively improve communications in critical situations. Take part as a supporter and make an active contribution to the future of secure communications!
