[Competition] Galileo Hackathons by Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Asia

Greetings from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Asia!

This year, GNNS Asia (together with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the European Union) organising a virtual innovation challenge to foster entrepreneurship in Southeast Asia.

The Galileo Hackathons will ask participants to come up with creative solutions to 4 different challenges in ASEAN using the European Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Galileo. We believe that this poses a great opportunity for the talented students at your university to apply their skills in real-life scenarios and potentially win a prize from a pool of 10,500 EUR. Additionally, this event will encourage participants to learn more about EU space and prepare them for a future in the European New Space sector.
