As part of its mission to foster inclusive and accessible innovation, Hack2BRIDGE France will now take place entirely online. The change in format aims to offer more flexibility and facilitate participation for SMEs, students and startups.
Originally planned as a two-day on-site event, the hackathon will now launch on 3 October 2025 with a remote opening session, followed by an extended hacking period until 31 October 2025. During this time, participants will be able to work on one of the four available challenges, book meetings for mentoring and coaching remotely, and prepare their pitch deck for submission.
The pitching sessions will be held online in early November, and a physical award ceremony will take place in mid-November in Bordeaux.
To accommodate this new format, the registration deadline has also been extended to 24 October 2025, offering more time for interested teams to join and prepare.
Hack2BRIDGE France is part of the European BRIDGESMEs project and focuses on the Aerospace & Defence ecosystem. The event provides a unique opportunity for startups, SMEs, students and professionals to co-develop innovative solutions in a flexible, collaborative environment.
