Frontline London Hackathon 2026
Description
This is an in person event. Frontline London is a one-day hackathon for building practical technology that protects people, supports frontline operators and strengthens resilient societies. Participants will work on challenges spanning defence and security, humanitarian protection, public safety, emergency response, government and civic resilience. Projects may address needs arising in Ukraine, the United Kingdom or other communities affected by conflict, disaster and serious public-safety threats. Teams might explore humanitarian demining, hazard and infrastructure mapping, resilient communications, emergency coordination, trusted open-source intelligence, aid logistics, crisis information and tools that help responders make safer, faster decisions. The event welcomes engineers, designers, researchers, analysts, public servants, emergency-service professionals, humanitarian specialists and people with direct experience of the problems being addressed. Projects should have a credible path to public benefit. Teams will be asked to consider safety, legality, privacy, responsible use and the people who may be affected by what they build. Build something practical. Test it against a real need. Help protect the people working on the front line and the communities behind them. Prizes 1st place: 1 year of Claude Pro 2nd place: 6 months of Claude Pro 3rd place: 3 months of Claude Pro
