The NESHack event was concluded after three days of intensive collaboration, during which teams from Spain, Portugal, and Italy developed innovative solutions addressing challenges related to green and digital transitions, as well as social innovation in rural areas and the habitat sector.
The event ended on September 20th, when participants presented their projects to the jury. Ivan Chorbev, representing the jury, expressed his appreciation for the dedication and creativity displayed by all the teams. He noted that every solution presented was both fascinating and valuable, making the final decision incredibly challenging due to the tight scoring.
A total of 25 participants contributed to this showcase of pioneer ideas aimed at tackling some of Europe’s pressing environmental and social challenges.
Congratulations to the Winners:
- Italian teams: AGORA, NEXUS, and NCCS.
- Portuguese teams: GeoAID, Connect 45+, and BTTB.
