Green Tech Jam

From 16 to 17 April 2021, students will once again spend 2 days working on future Green Tech digitalisation solutions as part of an online hackathon.

The Green Tech Jam 2021 once again aims to connect students from all disciplines with Green Tech companies, creating a creative platform for collaborative idea development in interdisciplinary teams.

Climathon Graz

This year's Green Tech Jam is being enriched by a new element: Participants will be offered two additional Climathon Challenges with a focus on climate solutions. The Climathon is a worldwide climate hackathon under the umbrella of EIT Climate-KIC, with the goal of generating concrete ideas to support regions, cities, businesses, and start-ups in implementing their climate solutions. Under the motto "Together for a greener future!", the Climathon Graz will take place this year as part of the Green Tech Jam on 16/17 April 2021.

Climathon Graz Challenges

• Klima- und Energiefonds: Developing a virtual collaboration tool for regional KLAR! - managers to enhance mutual learning and knowledge exchange
• Montanuniversität Leoben: Circular Economy meets Distributed Ledger – a transparent PET bottle product cycle

More details and short videos on all 6 challenges can be found on the Green Tech Jam 2021 website.
