About the Event
FPGA is our passion
We are changing the world through this. So you can!
Join the FPGA Hackathon that we organize in Kraków (POLAND) to learn more about the technology gaining more and more popularity!
Sharing this passion is the reason why we decided to create this Hackathon and Conference.
FPGA technology is one of the foundations for the revolutionary projects like fast telecommunication or autonomous cars. Thanks to the fast data processing and an ability to work on many resources, FPGA is a key in banking and insurance sector (acceleration of calculations and risk analysis based on data) or stock operations.
And that’s not all!
The mission of the event is to spread the knowledge of FPGA topics, meeting interesting guests and common networking.
Hackathon: April 22-23, 2023
What are you fighting for?
In addition to the enormous knowledge you gain, we guarantee great fun with FPGA enthusiasts, just like You! Don’t forget about material prizes from our sponsors and event partners.
Here is a sneak peek of the amazing awards waiting for the best Teams.
There is one item prepared per each Team Member.
