So many different cultures, backgrounds and areas of expertise, brought together by a shared vision: harnessing data, innovation and creativity to help preserve the ocean.
Each team will have a few minutes to pitch their project to an international jury. This jury of Ocean Hackathon® ambassadors, along with a representative from each organising city, will award points and the top three teams with the highest scores will be our 2026 winners!
