This year, the registration process is a little different from previous Healthcare Hackathons: If you’d like to participate in the Healthcare Hackathon 2026, simply apply in advance using our application form.
Why do we do this? Our goal is to put together balanced teams and ensure that all roles are well-filled. The information you provide helps us conduct a fair and structured selection process.
Important: Submitting the application form does not constitute a binding registration or a guarantee of participation in the 2026 Healthcare Hackathon. This is a selection process in which we review all applications and make selections based on the specified criteria. You are not officially registered for the event until you receive a confirmation email.
If several applications are equally suitable, the rule is: “First come, first served.” The order in which applications are received may therefore be the deciding factor.
You can apply until the end of September. As soon as we’ve reviewed your application, you’ll automatically receive an email with a response. In it, you’ll find out whether your spot has been confirmed or if you’re on the waitlist for now.
If you have any questions about the application process, feel free to contact us at any time.
We look forward to receiving your application!
