Do you want to help make the healthcare sector in Germany more innovative?

After a successful Healthcare Hackathon Bavaria in 2024, it's time for the next round and you can once again help to make the healthcare sector in Germany more innovative!

At the Healthcare Hackathon Bavaria, you will get the chance to develop innovative and progressive solutions with other creative minds over 2.5 days that will advance our industry. You can contribute to challenges in the field of digital health. We will present the exact challenges here at a later date.

We cordially invite IT experts, nurses, doctors, trainees, students and anyone who wants to make a difference in the healthcare sector to the Healthcare Hackathon Bavaria. Let's come together in Munich to turn innovative ideas into real solutions or products.

The hackathon starts on December 4, 2025 with the challenge and mentor presentation as well as networking, where the hackers can first get to know the mentors and ask many questions about the challenges. This will be followed by a relaxed hackathon dinner.
On December 5, 2025, the hackers decide on their favorite challenge and then hack until the doctor comes! On 6.12.2025, the teams will go into the final spurt to finalize the last details before the pitches of the respective solutions with subsequent award ceremony.

Be a part of the change and get involved today - whether as a hacker or sponsor.

The kick-off event on December 4 and the pitches will be held in English.

We are particularly pleased that Judith Gerlach, the Bavarian Minister of State for Health, Care and Prevention, will be the patron of this exciting event.
