2025 Wrap Up

21 hackathons with over 2000 builders and we are just getting started.

Thank you for 2025

The year is ending. The momentum is not.

2025 was the first year for {Tech: Europe}.

In the past 12 months, we:

  • Ran 21 hackathons,

  • Hosted 2000+ people in person,

  • Distributed €200,000+ in credits, cash & hardware prizes.

To everyone who joined us: Thank you.

Next year, we double down on enabling Europe’s next category leaders and closing the talent distribution gap.

  • The Sandbox: V1 batch starts in February (apply here).

  • Our first Applied AI Conference will happen in May
    (grab tickets here - code: TECHEUROPE for 25% off).

We will kick off 2026 with two hackathons in our usual hubs. Join us in Berlin on January 24-25. After that, we will come to Paris on February 7-8. Next year, we will also explore new ecosystems so stay tuned.

Thanks to everyone reading this weekly newsletter, joining our community and showing up to our hackathons. Let’s keep the momentum.

See you in 2026.

The {Tech: Europe} Team
