What is a hackathon?
It is organised by Barcelona Activa and Mobile World Capital Barcelona and consists of five challenges that have been chosen to find solutions for the city of Barcelona. These goals are framed within the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) of the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations. At the beginning of the day, the challenges will be presented and each participating team will have to choose one to develop throughout the marathon.

What is a marketplace?
It is a recruitment and networking event that connects companies with professionals seeking a job or a career upgrade. It aims to showcase candidates' skills through interviews, allowing candidates to meet with several companies in one day. This expands employment opportunities, especially for junior profiles or those in the process of reskilling. Additionally, companies can reinforce their employer branding with a short presentation.
- Day: 23rd October
- Venue: Fira de Barcelona Montjuïc
