Hack VS - The new generation reinvents Valais

Hack VS The text in French follows. The next generation of Valais reinvents the region in 24 hours. The first hackathon embedded within a major public event in Switzerland. Over one weekend, at the heart of the Foire du Valais, approximately 50 participants from top Swiss schools form mixed teams and tackle concrete problems set by Valais companies, alongside 20,000 visitors. On Sunday afternoon, the top teams pitch their solutions on stage. In front of the crowd and before a jury of investors, founders, and professionals. 🎯 THE CHALLENGES Valais companies will present a concrete, unsolved problem — data, technology, systems, processes, AI — that can be addressed in 24 hours using open data or a simplified dataset. Challenges are submitted by our partners: Flexsis, Sinergy, BPM, and will cover themes such as the future of: Mobility, HR, and Wastewater. The exact challenges will be revealed soon. 👩‍💻🧑‍💻 WHO Students, designers, business profiles, researchers — all profiles and all schools are welcome. Come with a team or solo. No team yet? We'll match you on site. 🛠️ SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3 🎤 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4 Why is it worth 24 hours of your life? Courses teach you to find the right answer. Hack VS pushes you to find the right question. In 24 hours, you tackle a real problem that no one has solved yet. You build under pressure, with people you'd never have met in class, using what you have. You pitch in front of an audience and decision-makers. And you leave with something concrete in your hands — and visibility with recruiters who are watching. And here's what's included: 📍 Location: Foire du Valais, Martigny (CERM) 🎟 Spots are limited. Register before October 2nd. Organized with Foire du Valais and HES-SO Valais-Wallis. Questions?
