Critical Infrastructure Shield Hackathon Switzerland

Europe’s critical infrastructure is increasingly exposed — from energy grids and transport hubs to data centers and communication networks. The threat landscape has changed: low-cost drones, hybrid cyberattacks, and denied-communication environments. From October 23-25, 2026, the first Critical Infrastructure Shield Hackathon in Switzerland brings together Europe’s top engineers, operators, founders, and industry leaders to build the systems that protect the backbone of modern society. Prototype real-world solutions designed to operate in contested environments — from counter-drone systems to resilient communications and autonomous defense.
